Description
The war in Ukraine has reshaped Europe — and the ripple effects are still unfolding. With Russia on the offensive, the far right gaining ground, and Trump’s return to the global stage, Europe faces urgent questions about its identity, unity, and future.
Will the continent stand firm as a force for democracy and stability, or splinter under pressure? What role can Europe play in a world increasingly shaped by nationalism and conflict?
This timely event explores the power struggles, political shifts, and global forces that are redefining Europe — and asks who will shape what comes next.
