About event

Already on November 11, the unbearable smog situation drove the residents of Teplice into the streets, which then Under pressure, public officials promised to start a dialogue.
The rise of civil society in response to the intolerable state of the environment and its connections with the Velvet Revolution will be discussed by Professor Bedřich Moldan, a naturalist and the first post-revolutionary Minister of the Environment, Doubravka Olšáková, a historian dedicated to the history of the Cold War and environmental history, and Jan Šícha, co-organizer of the student demonstrations in November 1989 in Ústí nad Labem. The debate is moderated by Matěj Moravanský, a doctoral student focusing on environmental history and a climate reporter for Deník Referendum.
From 8:00 p.m., a short film by Jan Svěrák Ropáci, for which he won a student award in 1988, will be screened Oscar.
