Everything’s going to be different from now on! The rapid transition to capitalism and pluralism kick-started in 1989 impacted on the everyday lives of every family and on thinking about the orientation of the state. The philosopher and journalist Dariusz Karłowicz and the ex-director of Czech Radio’s Vltava station Petr Fischer will discuss how Polish and Czech societies have changed, looking at the clash of the old and new worlds and the search for models and paths to the future. Prior to 1989, we were building better futures – what kind are we building today?

For Central European countries 1989 was both a new starting line and a challenge to get to grips with numerous internal problems. Thirty years after the fall of communism Polish and Czech journalists and public figures are discussing the transformations in their countries. This anniversary debate series has been created by the Václav Havel Library and the Polish Institute in Prague.

Supported by the Czech Foreign Ministry’s Czech-Polish Forum.

The debate will take place in Czech and Polish, with simultaneous interpretation provided.
