Finding the Common Ground
Freedom Games brings a classical liberal perspective to discussions on a broad range of topics, from politics to quantum physics to culture wars to environmental security. “Each year, we try to find the most untapped topic that we can tackle as liberals,” Olga explained.
These conversations serve as a catalyst for fostering understanding and unity among speakers and participants, advancing Fundacja Liberté!’s mission as each topic is approached with a respect for individual rights. Rather than prioritizing only prominent freedom advocates for their panels, Fundacja Liberté! features speakers from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives in an effort to diversify the conversation.
While those without a background in politics or economics may be hesitant to express their policy views, Olga remarked that Freedom Games offers a credible venue where public figures from all industries can take part in civil society.
“Having them gain the courage to be a part of the freedom movement, by being a partner and providing knowledge, for instance, is very crucial. That’s a big step towards bringing the message of freedom across.”
The Freedom Games approach has been successful in engaging a progressively larger and more diverse group of participants. This is evidenced by the presence of over 400 speakers that now present at their annual two-and-a-half day discussion.
“The tenfold increase in the number of speakers shows how much interest there is in this type of forum, and how much need there is for having spaces to debate freely,” Olga said.
