We will have an interactive conversation with Yaron Brook and Douglas Murray, mediated by Barbara Kolm, on the values and norms that define Western Civilization but now seem under attack.
What kind of ideas and events are threats to Western Civilization? Given the popularity of politicians like Geert Wilders it seems that many people see immigration as a threat. Is Western Civilization being destroyed by immigration or by something else? What needs to be protected, what needs to change?
