Masaryk Days 3–4 March 2026
The seventh annual Masaryk Days will feature the theme Safety in a Dangerous World, which raises questions about protection, resilience, and the values on which a free society is based. On the first day of the program, this theme will be anchored historically by the opening of Ladislav Sitenský's photo exhibition 312th and 311th Squadrons in Backlight at the Technical Museum in Brno, accompanied by commentary from historian Vladimír Černý and the personal perspective of the author's granddaughter, Adéla Kándlová. The second day will feature an interdisciplinary debate between experts from Masaryk University and guests, expanded to include the international perspective of Nicholas Winton Jr., which will focus on what security means today, not only in military and geopolitical terms, but also in terms of human dignity, stability, and social responsibility.
About Masaryk Days
Masaryk Days began its tradition in March 2020, on the 170th anniversary of T. G. Masaryk's birth.
The purpose of the Days is to celebrate the legacy of the first Czechoslovak president and patron of our university through lectures, debates and high-quality cultural programmes, but also to reflect on current social issues.
