Theme: Voices of Freedom

Freedom is a state of mind. It is the ability to do what we desire without any obstructions. But can we really see or listen to the freedom? How does it look like? How does it sound?

We call you to join us on 25th of May to experience the voices of freedom. Come and support those who make the social progress by introducing the ideas worth sharing!
