Nacht van de Vrijdenker 2025
-
Sat 22.1111:00 - 23:00De Vooruit, GentTHEATERZAAL
The annual ideas festival Nacht van de Vrijdenker once again fills the Theater Hall with wise philosophers, groundbreaking scientists, and young, refreshing opinion makers around questions that matter. What keeps you awake and alert? What do you have no control over, nor awareness of? What do you dig into that explains a lot? What unspoken hope is on the tip of your tongue?
Expect a marathon of debates, lectures, and panel discussions on philosophy, social issues, science, and critical thinking by speakers from both home and abroad. The Night of the Free Thinker brings a whirlwind of insights and ideas that open new perspectives and provide depth at the cutting edge. To understand what is troubling and to challenge what is established.
We are keeping the first names as a surprise until the start of ticket sales, in mid September.
New! Trefpunt and Nacht van de Vrijdenker are organising two Vrijdenker evenings on October 9 and 23 as a teaser for the Nacht van de Vrijdenker. Intimate free havens for grand ideas.
