Join us to discuss new ideas from famous Ukrainian and foreign intellectuals, meet like-minded people and talk about the future of Ukraine!
On the 22th of October on the territory of VDNKH the annual Free Generation Forum 2016, which is a platform for talking over the present, the past and, most importantly, the future of a free Ukraine, will be held. Experts from all over the world will share their views on most important issues with those who create the future of our country — the first free generation brought up in the former Soviet Union.
Why is our country changing so slowly? Is populism really so dangerous? How to fight corruption? Is the world becoming a freer place to live in? How to tackle the impediments, created by the state? All these and many more other questions will be discussed during Free Generation Forum 2016.
How to take part and why we charge a fee
You can buy tickets here. The recommended entrance fee is 50 hryvnias, but if you want to support the organization of the Forum, you can indicate a bigger amount. The price of the ticket will increase the conversion of the number of registrations to the number of participants and facilitate the planning. The collected money will be spent on the organization of direct translation, interpretation and coffee break.
The team of organizers is doing its best to make every following Forum better than the previous one. Last year, the forum hosted a panel discussion “The changes below: how to reform the country, not staying in the civil service” with representatives of several non-governmental organizations (EasyBusiness, VoxUkraine, «Nova Krajina», BFMC). Each of them elaborated on those ideas of free generation, which could be supported by them. This year we are going to organize a demo-area, where you will get a chance to discuss the possibilities of cooperation with the representatives of the largest Ukrainian NGOs, think tanks and ministries.
