DESCRIPTION:- - - - - English version below - - - - -\n\nIn 2026\, Václa
 v Havel would have turned 90. As a playwright\, dissident and Czechoslova
 kia’s first democratically elected president\, he became one of the mos
 t powerful symbols of the struggle for freedom and democracy in Europe.\n
 \nBut Havel does not belong only to history.\n\nAt a time marked by geopo
 litical tensions\, war in Europe\, pressure on democratic institutions an
 d an increasingly polarised public debate\, Havel’s questions seem more
  relevant than ever: How do we defend truth in a world filled with ideolo
 gies and misinformation? What responsibility does each citizen have? And 
 what role does morality play in politics?\n\nThe University of Copenhagen
  and the Embassy of the Czech Republic invite you to an afternoon of disc
 ussion and reflection on the legacy of one of Europe’s most influential
  thinkers and statesmen.\n\nThrough three panel discussions\, Havel will 
 be explored as a playwright\, philosopher and politician. Drawing on key 
 works and speeches\, scholars\, writers and public commentators will disc
 uss the questions that preoccupied Havel and continue to challenge us tod
 ay: academic freedom\, ethics\, civil society\, democracy and political r
 esponsibility.\n\nPanel guests: - Jiří Ellinger: Ambassador - Kirsten B

 ofessor of Global Studies\, Aarhus University - Tine Roesen: Associate Pr
