Admission is free, and all sessions are open to the public. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with speakers. Meanwhile, on the first floor, a continuous screening of short documentaries from Italy, France, Spain, Poland, Hungary, and Greece will run throughout the evening.
