DILEMMA

Dilemma program consists of four main activity formats:

  1. Dilemma 'mobile academy' – series of debates, seminars, workshops and artistic events organized each time in a different place. A „laboratory of thought” and new space for exchange and co-cre ation of ideas.

The program will consist of three main elements:

  • Academy - lectures, debates and seminars with the participation of the members of Dilemma, in vited quests and open to the local public.
  • Cafe Europa - meeting of poets and writers, expanding the discussion to the dimension of artistic expression, which will take place in a unique atmosphere of a literary cafe with the audience at tables, discussions, reading of poetry and creative manifestos and accompaniment of live music. “Café Europa” events will widen the circle of exchange of thoughts, motivate artistic circles, and present a chance for face-to-face encounter with spoken word and music.
  • Laboratory of the place - meeting, workshops and artistic presentations introducing members of the Academy to the local context, current challenges and ongoing cultural and educational initia tives.
