The great challenges of the 21st century are global and ignore borders in an interconnected world threatened by global threats such as the covid pandemic, war in the near neighbourhood, and terrorist attacks of unprecedented scale and brutality. The ability to adapt and collectively cope with crises when adversity strikes is the key issue of the day. How can the younger generation prepare for these difficult challenges? The discussion will be held in English.
These questions and examples of good practice from the Czech Republic and the Nordic countries will be discussed: Prof. MUDr. Milena Králíčková, PhD, Rector of Charles University in Prague, Prof. PhDr. Eva Voldřichová Beránková, PhD, Vice-Rector of Charles University in Prague, Ing. Lenka Henebergová, member of the Rector's College, and H.E. Fredrik Jörgensen, Ambassador of Sweden, H.E. Pasi Olavi Tuominen, Ambassador of Finland, Frederik Carl Felding, Deputy Ambassador of Denmark, and Per Øystein Vatne from the Embassy of Norway.
The host will be Martin Severyn, Communications and Cultural Affairs Officer at the Embassy of Sweden.
