What does it mean to be Ukrainian during an existential war? How do we preserve our humanity when the world around us is collapsing and daily news teaches us to live in a state of constant alarm? In moments when reality challenges our values, it is the inner compass that keeps us from breaking. Moral mobilization is not about loud declarations − it is about thousands of everyday choices that hold the country together: the choice not to stay silent, not to look away, not to lose the ability to empathize.
These are the questions that Vitaliy Portnikov, publicist, writer, and one of the most profound voices of the Ukrainian intellectual tradition, will explore in his lecture on Being Ukrainian During an Existential War at the XIV Civil Society Forum.
Please note that registration for the Forum is open until 22 November at the link.
