Deputy chairman ESI, Europe's Futures Fellow IWM Vienna. For a stable and peaceful Europe, respecting the rule of law and human rights.
Oleksandra Matviichuk: „Peace is not when the country that was attacked lays down its weapons. That‘s not peace. That‘s occupation.“

Yet, clearly this is not an emergency. Nothing in this situation justifies foreign intervention.

Musée Albert Kahn
Le musée départemental Albert-Kahn a ouvert ses portes à Boulogne-Billancourt le 2 avril 2022 après cinq ans de travaux. Le public y découvre un site de 4 hectares restructuré, alliant nouveaux bâtiments et restaurations respectueuses de l’histoire du lieu, pour un établissement entièrement repensé : un musée d’images tourné vers les questions de société, au cœur d’un jardin qui met le monde à portée de main, à l’instar du projet de son créateur, le banquier et philanthrope Albert Kahn.
