Among topics discussed there were human rights and the rule of law, perspectives on globalisation and democracy, Russia-Europe and Russia-Ukraine relations, journalism and propaganda, history and memory, civic education and global civics.

In addition to the main programme, one day was devoted to the philosophical heritage of the famous Soviet and Georgian philosopher Merab Mamardashvili, whose vision that there are many, many cultures but only one civilization, ran through all the themes of the seminar.
