Discussions at Café Európa at Pohoda 2025

Alongside the musical and theatrical programme, the EUrópa stage will once again host the traditional Café Európa discussions featuring a range of interesting guests.

01. July 2025

FRIDAY

2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Café Európa: AI – Our End or a New Beginning?
Guests: D. Vacek, Z. Juráneková, F. Struhárik, Michal Meško 

Will AI start replacing us in our professions, become a substitute for human friends, and impact our interpersonal relationships? This discussion opens up key questions about the future of human identity, values, and the way society will be organised in an era of increasingly advanced artificial intelligence.

SATURDAY 

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Café Európa: One for All, All for One
Guests: P. Vlhová, J. Kirschner / M. Staňo

They both represent us brilliantly and the eyes of Slovakia are on them. How important are the people in their teams and those who stand behind them? How do they handle expectations, and what kind of Slovakia do they wish to represent? With Petra and Jana, Martin Staňo will also talk about why we should stick together, the values that unite us, and why it’s important to stand up for the weakest among us. He will ask how they use the power of their voices, and when they choose to speak out to inspire the rest of us.

2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Café Európa: Humour in Difficult Times
Guests: M. Szatmáry, T. Hudák, A. Heretik

How can humour help people cope with uncertainty, stress, and the crises surrounding us? How does it support resilience, strengthen social bonds, and help maintain a positive outlook in challenging times?
