A POSSIBLE WAY FOR DISCUSSING OUR COMMON ISSUES
PO: Public Opinion
PO’s mission is to root a progressive public forum in Pécs. To discuss in a cultured way social issues and concrete matters of current concern to our city, within the framework of participation, inside and beyond the bubble.
DIALOGUE – ENCOUNTER – PARTICIPATION
For free speech
PO provides a community experience that encourages free expression rather than repression. Accessible to all, it is a niche and ground-breaking forum for debate that connects city residents and creates a public space. Participants can openly and freely express their views on issues affecting their local community. PO creates community.
