Discussion ‘New Measurement of Freedom of Expression’

5th August, 2.00-4.00 pm, Odessa National Scientific Library.

Keep it to yourself!
For nothing terrible to happen!

What is happening with freedom of expression nowadays?
When everything is filtered by people themselves in their fear of possible punishments.
When life gradually loses a chance to be evaluated.
When… But, may it be good? As there are many talks round about, and there is less and less freedom.
We will be discussing all of this.

Issues to be discussed:
⧫ Impact of the digital era on freedom of expression
⧫ Can freedom of expression be absolute?
⧫ Limits of freedom of expression
⧫ Impact of the new ethics on freedom of expression. Is it not a law for us in Ukraine?
⧫ Self-censoring.
⧫ Freedom of expression in literature.

So, we are inviting you to join in the discussion ‘New Measurement of Freedom of Expression’ with the participation of Ukrainian publicists, writers, journalists, representatives of the UNESCO cities of literature.

The discussion will be offline at the hall with the connection with the remote speakers by means of telebridges. Simultaneous interpretation.
Free entrance.
