16:00 - 17:00 Law Institute: 1989 vs. 2025: Law Students on Freedom and Democracy

A discussion with three law students from various Slovak law schools about the legacy of November 89 and its significance for the present. How does the generation that did not experience the revolution perceive the events of 36 years ago? The discussion will focus on the relevance of the ideals of the Gentle Revolution, the protection of democratic freedoms, and the role of today's students.

Together, we will reflect on the state of academic freedom, the civic engagement of the young generation, and whether we can preserve the memory of key moments in our history.
The moderated discussion brings the perspectives of a generation whose task is not only to understand the past, but also to actively shape the future of democratic Slovakia.

Moderator: Ivan Novotný, university lecturer (Institute of Law)

They discuss:
Barbora Budzáková, law student (Faculty of Law, Comenius University in Bratislava)
