The Václav Havel European Dialogues

The Václav Havel European Dialogues Conference is an international project that aims to initiate and stimulate a discussion about issues determining the direction of contemporary Europe while referring to the spiritual legacy of Václav Havel.

The main organiser of the Václav Havel European Dialogues is The Václav Havel Library. The Conference is held annually in Prague (spring) and Brussels (autumn).

Together with the Václav Havel Library, we have decided to bring the project to other countries on the occasion of the Czech Presidency of the Council of the EU. In 2022, The Václav Havel European Dialogues will, therefore, take place in 21 European countries and the USA with the support of Czech embassies and many local educational and cultural institutions.

The recordings of the Václav Havel European Dialogues are available here.
