Public lecture by Patrice O’Neill (Filmmaker and founder, Not In Our Town), with introductions by Eleni Tsakopoulos Kounalakis, U.S. Ambassador to Hungary; Tove Skarstein, Norwegian Ambassador to Hungary; and Zoltan Kovacs, Hungarian Minister of State for Social Inclusion.

They tackle questions such as: What can ordinary people do about racial, ethnic and cultural tensions and violence in their neighborhoods? What can media, mayors, police, religious leaders and teachers do? What can the Not In Our Town model offer Hungarian communities that are experiencing tensions between their Roma and non-Roma populations?
