DEMOS Dialogue: On Diversity, Demographic Changes, and Tolerance

The demographics of Czech and other European societies are changing: populations are ageing and becoming much more diverse along various dimensions (race, ethnicity, gender, etc.). How should societies cope with these changes? What are the limits between tolerance and assimilation to pre-existing norms?

Agora Network and MigAct invite you to participate in an evening of dialogue centered around exploring the implications of changing population demographics and what it means for cohesive societies, democratic politics, and basic human dignity. We'll be using the DEMOS Dialogue methodology: a structured, facilitated conversation designed to move beyond debate and into genuine exchange.

The DEMOS model is built on a simple but powerful idea: that people with different perspectives and lived experiences can think together — not to reach consensus, but to understand each other more honestly. No speeches, no winning arguments. Just real conversation.

What to expect:

• A welcoming, low-pressure atmosphere open to people of migration background and local Czech residents alike
• Facilitated small-group dialogue using the DEMOS method
• Reflection on themes of belonging, identity, and what we share across difference
• About 2 hours, with time to connect informally afterward

Whether you were born here or arrived recently, your perspective matters. This event is for anyone willing to listen as much as they speak.

Space is limited to keep conversations intimate — reserve your spot below.
