Cafe Kyiv 2025
We choose freedom
For more than 1,000 days, Ukrainians have been fighting tirelessly for their and our freedom. With this in mind, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, together with numerous partner organisations, is organising the third edition of ‘Cafe Kyiv’ at the Colosseum Berlin on 11 March 2025.
Forum
Berlin Belarus Future Forum
“A democratic Belarus in the European Family”
Over four years have passed since the fraudulent elections and state violence in Belarus sparked unprecedented peaceful protests and opened a new chapter in the society’s struggle for democracy. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya as well as thousands of her voters and supporters were forced into exile from where they continue their work. Ever since, the Western world has developed new mechanisms of support for them while largely cutting its relations with the Lukashenka-regime. For Germany, the resolution passed by the German Bundestag in November 2023 defined the country’s position in an exemplary manner including many concrete calls for action towards the federal government. At the Berlin Belarus Future Forum, we want to take a look at the present situation in Belarus together with our partners but also take stock of where Germany and Europe stand in their support for democratic Belarus just a few months before the regime’s next presidential “elections”. After the podium discussion you will have a chance to listen to some Belarusian music by rock legend Lavon Volski and attend the world premiere of the Belarus Block Buster “7 Symtoms of Belaruskast” (see below).

TACHELES
Israel and Germany. One year after October 7th.
7 October 2024 marks the first year after Hamas' horrific attack on Israel. We want to take this commemoration day as an opportunity to send a strong message in favour of Israel's right to exist, for Jewish life in Germany and against antisemitism. We will speak out against hatred of Jews worldwide. Together with guests from Israel and Germany as well as partner organisations, we are organising a conference at the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Academy on September 30, 2024 with a mixture of lectures, panels, workshops, art and culture. For us, one thing is certain: hatred of Jews is incompatible with the values of our country, and we must not accept in our society that Jews no longer feel safe.
