The Opinion Festival 2022 gathers a bunch of ideas!
The Opinion Festival 2022 is going to take place, despite of all. This year has become an extremely challenging time for all of us, but at the same time it has opened up many new meanings, shown everything that is most important to us and exposed problems. At the moment, society really has something to talk about.
Every year, the Opinion Festival gathers people from all over Ukraine in Severodonetsk to talk about the important things that hurt the region and Ukraine as a whole.
This year our native Severodonetsk, the usual location of the festival, is occupied. We believe that the next Festivals will definitely take place in the Luhansk region, but in 2022, we are changing the format a bit.
Therefore, carefully and with the belief that everything will work out, we announce the Opinion Festival 2022 and begin collecting topics for discussion.
This year the festival will take place in early September in online and offline format.
Format of the Opinion Festival 2022:
Online part on September 5-8
Offline in Dnipro city on September 10
Offline (in the interesting location) on September 11
During the Fest, we will raise money for one of the needs of war victims. Details of the collection will be announced later.
We are waiting for you to discuss the topics!

What is the Opinion Festival?
It is a safe and comfortable space in which the community can discuss current issues and issues with the authorities, officials, opinion leaders, like-minded people, and most importantly – find solutions together.
According to the rules of the Festival, first there is a collection of topics where anyone can suggest the topic that they consider relevant and important. Then the program is formed from the most interesting and important topics. The program is based on discussions (90 minutes), where opinion leaders, government officials, the public sector, the international community share experiences, tell important details firsthand, and listeners can join the discussions by asking questions or sharing their experiences.
Experts and moderators from different cities of Ukraine and European countries will take part in the festival. Each of you can take part in the discussion or listen to others. This year the Festival will be held for the sixth time.
