In light of a growing pandemic and new restrictions, Freedom Games 2020 shall be held on November 13-15, 2020, in a hybrid format. We are, however, prepared for any scenario due to the further development of the epidemic situation.
If the current regulations (yellow zone) are be in force in mid-November, then, adopting strict safety and social distancing restrictions, Freedom Games will allow attendance by a very limited number of participants in accordance with the applicable regulations.
The pandemic cannot stop the debate, curiosity to understand the world, talking about ideas, just like it cannot break social ties. At the same time, we must act in such a way so as to ensure that each and every one of you, our guests and speakers can choose the type of participation with the maximum level of safety.
For those of you who decide to buy a ticket for the Freedom Games, we guarantee a refund if participation in the forum turns out impossible due to epidemic-related restrictions. Perhaps some of you, while participating in the online event, will recognize that our work has value, and then you can always decide to donate the funds from the purchased ticket to the next year’s edition of the Freedom Games. Such support will be more than needed for us in the next difficult months, just like it is the case for many other cultural and social institutions.
We have decided that this year all discussions during Freedom Games will be available online live without any fees or registration. We want as many of you to be able to participate in the Freedom Games – at least remotely – and listen to the group of exceptional guests who will speak during this edition. This is our educational mission.
As part of five professionally broadcast channels, including two additional ones with simultaneous Polish/English translation, we intend to create symbolic New Public Media, showing which topics should be dealt with in an attractive and substantive way by the public media, including in particular the Polish public television. Instead of constantly debating how the public media should look like, we – as part of Freedom Games – want to sinply show it.
Stay safe and inspired,
Freedom Games 2020 Team
