Studentské listy Debate: How Do Today’s Young People View Václav Havel?

Is Václav Havel more of a historical figure, a symbol or a real person to them? How do they encounter his legacy at school, in the media or in the public arena? Our discussion will offer the younger generation’s perspective on the personality and significance of Havel today.

Former chair of the Czech High School Union Adéla Kundrátová, artist and active citizen Ellen Anna Kovačíková, and history and social sciences education student and Agora association member Filip Rytíř will open a discussion, moderated by Jakub Roubíček, which will be followed by a joint debate with students. The goal is to create a space for sharing different perspectives and questions that Havel’s legacy continues to raise today.
