The fifth edition of the Warsaw Debates, largest Polish-French economic forum organized by the French-Polish Chamber of Commerce (CCIFP), will be held at the Royal Castle in Warsaw on the 24th of May 2019.
Participants will discuss the role of women in the
21st century in economic, political, as well as in social terms.
Almost 300 guests, representing business,
politics, science and the media will take part in this year's edition of the Warsaw
Debates. The event, which takes place just before the elections to the European
Parliament, will be an opportunity to look at the position of women from the
perspective of France and Poland. Women play a key role in the culture and
traditions of both countries - the French Marianne led the people to the
barricades, and Polonia, a personification of the Homeland, has become a
permanent part of the tradition of Poland’s struggle for independence. However,
are these images still valid in the contemporary world? How do women perceive
themselves, and how do society or the business world see them? What is the role
of the state concerning equal treatment of women and men and what are the
solutions in this field applied in Poland and in France? The answers to these
questions will be sought by guests invited to the debate. Among them, prominent
French intellectuals: Luc Ferry, philosopher, former Minister of Education, and
Jean Marie Cavada, MEP, journalist, former President of Radio France. The voice
of the business community will also be represented. Alexandre Bompard,
President of the Carrefour Group worldwide, Magdalena Kruszewska, President of
Sanofi Polska, and Jean-François Fallacher, President of Orange Polska and of
the CCIFP will share their experience. Representatives of the government,
headed by Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz, have also been invited to participate in
the debates. More information and registration at www.spotkaniawarszawskie.pl.
