The programme includes Atwood in conversation with Ukrainian psychologist Yurii Prokhasko, Turkish writer Elif Shafak in conversation with Ukrainian novelist Kateryna Kalytko and and British storyteller Neil Gaiman in conversation with Ukrainian journalist Sevgil Musayeva.

Gurnah will discuss post-colonialism with Ukrainian historian Olena Stiazhkina and Mexican activist Lydia Cacho. Also appearing will be neurosurgeon Henry Marsh and lawyers and activists Larysa Denysenko and Philippe Sands.

The events will be streamed free online, with Ukrainian and English subtitles available live, and Spanish subtitles to be added after the event.
