The seven stages located in the center of EC1 have hosted 486 speakers and presenters, including a whole bunch of notable personalities such as Jonathan Littell, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Anne Applebaum, Michael Ignatieff, Rebecca Makkai, Oksana Zabu\u017cko, Anda Rottenberg, Agnieszka Holland, Miko\u0142aj Grynberg, Maciej Stuhr, Deirdre McCloskey, Paulina Siegie\u0144, Stefan Chwin, Renata Lis, Ewa Ewart, Grzegorz Pi\u0105tek, Mark Galeotti and the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event consisted of one hundred and twenty sessions: literary meetings, lectures, panel discussions, roundtables, which allowed speakers and the audience to exchange views and debate on topics such as democracy, climate crisis, future of media, equality, responsible business, economy, the future of Europe and the European Union, security challenges, changes in the energy sector, new technologies, culture or women&#8217;s rights. During the tenth anniversary edition of the Freedom Games, a new generation of experts, NGOs, business, politicians, and citizens presented a proposal for change, a way to tame uncertainty, and a prospect for the future both locally and globally, while proving that the &#8220;turning point&#8221; is closer than we think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/2024.igrzyskawolnosci.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-11-27-o-10.44.36-1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2024.igrzyskawolnosci.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-11-27-o-10.44.36-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/2024.igrzyskawolnosci.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-11-27-o-10.44.36-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/2024.igrzyskawolnosci.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-11-27-o-10.44.36-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/2024.igrzyskawolnosci.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-11-27-o-10.44.36-1-1536x1025.png 1536w, https:\/\/2024.igrzyskawolnosci.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-11-27-o-10.44.36-1.png 1922w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was an exceptional edition, therefore we would like to thank everyone without whom the forum could not happen.
