“Two countries fighting for their futures make their case for Europe. Ambassador Larysa Gerasko of Ukraine and Ambassador Larisa Miculet of Moldova join Barry Andrews MEP and journalist Shona Murray to talk enlargement in wartime: what accession asks of them, and what it asks of the rest of us. Supported by the Communicating Europe programme of the Department of Foreign Affairs and the European Parliament”
This event is part of Leviathan Stage
MindField's public forum, where the weekend's most insightful conversations happen out in the open. Andrew Maxwell hosts the big panels — on America at 250, populism and the broligarchy — while ambassadors, journalists and campaigners take on Europe, Gaza, Amnesty and the housing crisis in between. Mornings open gently with Salon du Chat and the Human Library, where the books are people and the borrowing is a conversation. Come to listen, stay to disagree.
