EnglishFinland is at the moment one of the places in Europe where the end of the post-Cold War order is most visible. Its history between east and west makes Finland’s recent social development and geopolitical choices a revealing litmus test, helping us to understand the tectonic shifts currently affecting Europe, from north to south.
From 15 to 18 May 2025, the Helsinki Debate on Europe will address all this and much more in public speeches and panel discussions, in literary readings as well as internal sessions and briefings. The event features leading Finnish and international writers, intellectuals, and representatives of both politics and civil society.
