As part of the “Meetings with Prominent Ukrainians” series, NGO Halom hosted an evening of conversation with renowned journalist, publicist, and intellectual Vitaliy Portnikov. The event was initiated by volunteer Iryna Khokhlova.
The gathering brought together 80 participants, who had the opportunity to ask questions and take part in discussions on important socio-political issues.
Key highlights of the event:
- Open discussion on socio-political and cultural topics
- Q&A session
- Exploration of the role of journalism and public commentary in shaping civic awareness
The event was marked by the audience’s high engagement, thoughtful questions, and meaningful dialogue. The atmosphere fostered critical thinking, an analytical approach to information, and a deeper understanding of current challenges.
We thank Vitaliy Portnikov for the engaging conversation and all participants for their active involvement!
Halom will continue organizing such events aimed at intellectual development and civic engagement. See you at the next one!
