CUBE sessions | Diving into dialogue

Participants can register in advance to join one of the CUBE sessions. Registration is open only to confirmed participants of the festival.

An important feature of the festival programme is the Diving into dialogue format — an exciting session featuring three speakers who provide brief, thought-provoking insights on the CUBE topic. Following their presentations, participants break into groups for collaborative discussions. The session concludes with a collective dialogue, where the audience and speakers engage in an open exchange of ideas.

GREEN CUBE

CUBE 1 will explore the tipping points, limitations, and the necessity of borders to prevent climate change-induced catastrophes. It will foster a comprehensive understanding of the challenges posed by climate change and the imperative of green literacy in navigating these challenges. Its focus will be to identify actionable strategies, policies and practices to address these issues at local, regional, and global levels. 

BLUE CUBE

CUBE 2 will examine the complexities of digitalisation, the regulatory mechanisms shaping the media environment, and the challenges of distinguishing between truth and misinformation. It will seek to promote digital and media literacy as a means to empower individuals, strengthen democratic values, and enhance social cohesion.

ORANGE CUBE

CUBE 3 will probe the complex intersections of geographical divisions, cultural diversity, and civic education. By focusing on contact zones, divided cities, and post-conflict societies, the session aims to explore strategies for community building, fostering inclusion, and enhancing social cohesion in emerging spaces, ultimately seeking to identify new possibilities for bridging divides and promoting peace.

YELLOW CUBE

CUBE 4 will look into migration regimes and explore their implications for civic education and governance. By examining contemporary migration patterns, push-and-pull factors, and migration policies, the session will aim to foster a deeper understanding of the complexities of migration and related governance challenges, while emphasising the importance of upholding human rights in migration policies and practices.
