Helsinki Hall
DEBATES ON EUROPE
Join the conversation at the Finlandia Hall, Hanaholmen and the House of Text on the future of Europe with leading Finnish and international writers, intellectuals, and representatives of both politics and civil society: Peter Pomerantsev, Nataliya Gumenyk, Monika Fagerholm, Sergei Lebedev, Karl Schlögel, Hanna Smith, Jacques Rupnik, Sonja Biserko, Jaakko Iloniemi, Veton Surroi and many more.
The year 2025 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act, one of the most significant diplomatic achievements in European history. This was the beginning of the end of the Cold War.
Fifty years on, the Helsinki Debate on Europe will not only discuss the values guiding international relations in the post-Cold War era, but also sound out the prospects of getting back to a rule-based world order.
