This is a story about the creation of post-war Europe and the Europe we have yet to create. Several historical figures will serve as symbolic guides through the historical and social processes of post-Holocaust Europe. We will get acquainted with the dilemmas faced by post-war Europe and the social changes that enabled the creation of Europe as we know it today. The citizens of Novi Sad, as well as the citizens of other cities in Serbia and Europe, will lead a direct dialogue on the future of Europe and the challenges we face today in order to achieve the Europe we want together.
The event is accessible to persons with physical disabilities.
