Battle of Ideas Festival

BATTLE OF IDEAS festival 2023 TICKETS ON SALE NOW: GET YOUR SPECIAL FSU DISCOUNT! 

Battle of Ideas festival returns to Church House, Westminster on 28 & 29 October. As ever the festival motto is: ‘Free speech allowed, free thinkers welcome’. There’s plenty to discuss, from the cultural and corporate wars on free speech to the rise of apocalyptic thinking around climate change or artificial intelligence. There will be debates on the continuing upsurges in populism and the crises in the arts world and schools – plus much more across 100+ sessions. With an election likely to come in 2024, but party politics suffering from a vacuum of ideas, this is the festival that goes beyond left and right to bring together critics, thinkers, campaigners and the public itself. Join in to shape the future through public debate.
 

The FSU will be there all weekend with our stall and will be partnering on this session on Saturday, Online Censorship: An International Clampdown? as part of the Free Speech Strand.  

FSU members can get 20% off weekend standard, weekend concession, one-day standard, one-day concession by using the link supplied in Events emails and the weekly newsletter.
