Active participation of citizens in the public-political process is crucial in a modern democracy. Public engagement ensures inclusive decision-making and sustainable democratic development of the nation. Considering the lack of civic education, weak political culture and fragile party system in Georgia, it is vital to have a strong base for the interaction and collaboration of young Georgians with the western liberal-democratic values, who are interested in the public-political activities, to unite their knowledge, skills, and experiences for the common good of the nation.

To create a space for the collaboration and networking of the young professionals, the semi-formal gatherings are organized, with distinguished Georgian and foreign leaders from politics, business, culture, and science.  Subject of the Liberty Evenings is the idea of liberty and different forms of its manifestation, affecting the development of the state and society.

​

Each event hosts two or three speakers and around 50 attendees. Attendees are selected and invited from the alumni lists of the European and American universities. Attendees should share the core values of liberal democracy and hold leadership potential. Liberty Evenings are held once a month, in a semi-formal, cozy atmosphere, at the lounge Publica, where the participants have the opportunity to have a proper environment for dialogue and communication. The duration of each event is about two and a half hours, which consists of two parts: panel dialogue with two or three speakers led by moderator, and networking hour for free interaction and communication.
