On Thursday, November 10, at 15:00, the Lviv Regional Youth Center will host a presentation of the book “Christian Democracy. Solutions for Ukraine and Europe”.
The book is intended for a wide range of readers, politicians, political scientists, journalists, public and religious activists, students, Christians, and anyone interested in the principles of building successful and socially oriented states, the Lviv Regional State Administration reports.
“Christian democracy became the ideology of reconciliation and integration for European countries after World War II. Christian democratic leaders Konrad Adenauer, Robert Schuman, and Alcide de Gasperi not only laid the foundations for the economic prosperity of Germany, France, and Italy, but also became the founding fathers of the European Union. The universal values of Christian democracy raised postwar Europe from the ruins and became the foundation of a welfare state based on freedom, solidarity, and responsibility. This book tells the stories of Christian democratic examples of successes, successful and unsuccessful struggles to build a society of welfare, justice and values,” the book’s annotation reads.
The speakers of the presentation will be:
- Valeriy Maidaniuk, PhD in Political Science, co-author of the book “Christian Democracy. Solutions for Ukraine and Europe”;
- Valentyn Balahura, political scientist, public figure, NGO “Great State”;
- Yuriy Goncharenko, information security expert, vice president of the NGO Foundation for Promotion of Democracy, InfoLight.UA educational initiative;
- Maksym Koliba, PhD, Deputy Director of the International Institute of Ethics and Contemporary Issues of the Ukrainian Catholic University, Senior Lecturer at the School of Law of the Ukrainian Catholic University.
Also on this day, the educational initiative InfoLight.UA, implemented by the NGO “Foundation for Promotion of Democracy” with the support of the Hanns Seidel Foundation in Ukraine, will be presented. The initiative includes online trainings on information hygiene and security, fact-checking, and countering disinformation.
