Conferences

We believe that dialogue solves problems and prevents them from arising. We organise and participate in conferences devoted to human rights and the development of democracy in the countries of the former Communist Bloc.

As a Foundation, we are active both in Poland and throughout Europe. We participate in conferences organised under the umbrella of European Parliament, OSCE and the Senate of the Republic of Poland. We co-organise debates in cooperation with such institutions as Collegium Civitas, the Theatre Institute and Goethe Institute.

Political killings in Kazakhstan and the need to impose personal sanctions. Our intervention at the OSCE meeting

Political killings in Kazakhstan and the need to impose personal sanctions. Our intervention at the OSCE meeting

On 10 November 2020, our advocacy officer Maksym Sytnikov brought attention to the murder of human rights activist and blogger Dulat Agadil in February 2020 during an OSCE meeting. The session was held on the topic: the role of society in advancing the right to freedom of religion or belief for all. In this context, the prosecution of a minimum of 183 people for taking part in the memorial ceremonies in honour of Dulat demonstrates the worsening human rights situation in Kazakhstan.
