Will the values of a liberal voter and of the green movement be represented in Slovakia at all?

 

This podcast episode looks at the results of the 2020 national elections in Slovakia. To the surprise of many, we saw some unexpected results and many lessons learned for all those interested in political campaigning. Despite the polls, Slovakia’s incoming government coalition will not include the party that was on a steep rise to become a leader of a fundamental shift in Slovakia’s political leadership. 

 

Our guest Martin Hojsík shares his insights into what happened and also about his experience of one of the most active Slovak members of the European Parliament (representing Progressive Slovakia, member of ALDE/RENEW liberal group). In this interview with Lucia Klestincova, you will hear him share about his work on climate emergency and meeting with Greta Thunberg; but also about the campaign in Slovakia:  authenticity vs disinfo; touring the regions vs populist shows; diversity vs harassment of political candidates.

As a child who grew up watching the growth of yoga practice in and around European institutions, she understood there was more to health and self-care. Catherine Polet became specialized in Nutrition and Health coaching and desire mapping, complementing her passion for healthy and delicious food with the wisdom of Ayurveda, Feng Shui, Yoga, and Autogenic Training.

Tune into her conversation with Lucia Klestincova, explaining why food is not our ‘primary food’, how to strike the right balance between self-improvement goals and gentle self-care, and how to win the support of your partner and kids on the journey of transforming your lifestyle for greater health and vitality.

94% of women experience sexism yet only 25% report even the most serious incidents. Speak up if you don’t know a woman who experienced sexism. Speak up if you know a woman who’s confident dealing with it on spot. Speak up if you are sure that your company is immune to these kinds of toxic behaviors.

If you’re still silent, listen to the next episode of Lights on Europe. Lucia Klestincova interviews Dorothy Dalton, CEO of 3Plus International, HR consultant, and career coach, to learn how to handle the sexism epidemic in our society. How does sexism differ from harassment? What is ‘normal’ in multicultural workplaces? How to recognise, stop and deal with it if you are the target, or if you see it happening to someone else? How can men and women in the workplace support each other in the face of everyday sexism? Listen and learn the one single phrase, which will empower you to take your authority back.

Katharina von Schnurbein was appointed the first European Commission Coordinator on combating antisemitism. Prior to this, she worked for five years as part of the advisory team of President Jose Manuel Barroso on the dialogue with churches, religions and non-confessional organisations. Her interest in building bridges and facilitating dialogue with other cultures was strongly impacted by her experience of liberation of Central and Eastern Europe and fall of the Berlin Wall, which ultimately led her to Slavonic Studies and perfect mastery of Czech language. Interested to hear how all of us can play a role in increasing tolerance in our society? In her interview with Lucia Klestincova for Lights on Europe, Katharina explains the sensitive nature of her function, outlines the origins of rise of anti-semitism in Europe and what can be done to combat it by mediating better dialogue at the European level.

In this podcast edition, he shares what it’s like to negotiate on behalf of the European Union with the Americans, Chinese, Russians, Japanese and Indians on the one hand, and how he survived a 7-day, 235km Moroccan marathon in the Sahara desert on the other - while carrying Arthur, his squeaky rubber chicken! Listen to his advice on how to push through your physical limits, how to overcome pain and how to prepare your mind for the challenges of a lifetime.  Next time you hear that voice in your head, you can tell it (politely) where to go!

V Bruseli dosiahol maximum - aby nakoniec vymenil kariérny piedestál za vstup do slovenskej politiky. V tomto exkluzívnom rozhovore pred odchodom z Bruselu mala Lucia Kleštincová možnosť dozvedieť sa o vyvažovaní emócií vo svete regulácií, o hranici občianskej angažovanosti a profesionality, ale aj o vízii radikálnych riešení pre záchranu Slovenska pred rozvratom, ktorý môže priniesť umelá inteligencia a katastrofálny stav školstva.

Vypočujte si odkazy profesora Šuchu: pre kolegov a kolegyne v Bruseli, pre laickú verejnosť u nás doma, ale aj pre aktivistov, ktorí hľadajú správnu formu angažovania sa v politike.
