Identity as a shield

15:00- 16:30, Sala główna

Regional resilience is built not only through roads, technology, and security systems. It is built by people, their social bonds, mutual trust, culture, historical memory, and sense of belonging. In border areas, this is of paramount importance, particularly in an era of disinformation and hybrid attempts to divide societies.

Key Topics:

  • How can local identity and culture bolster societal resilience against propaganda and disinformation?
  • What builds trust and cohesion within communities living under persistent geopolitical pressure?
  • Can the multicultural heritage of borderlands serve as a source of strength rather than vulnerability?
  • How can education and historical memory help forge a resilient community?

Why Attend?

  • Designed for professionals and leaders interested in the civic and humanist dimensions of security, spanning culture, education, media, academia, and community life.
