Come join us for the next live recording of the Café Evropa podcast! This time, the topic is conversion therapy—our guests will discuss why it is dangerous and why the public shouldn’t ignore it.
5. August 2026
In European countries, citizens are increasingly calling on their governments to ban so-called conversion therapy—that is, methods that seek to change people’s sexual orientation and gender identity through violence or psychological coercion. The European Commission has also expressed its support for this cause.
What does conversion therapy entail, and why is there no place for it in modern society? The following guests will discuss this topic during a live recording of the Café Evropa podcast:
- Michal Pitoňák from the National Institute of Mental Health
- Šimon Hauser, editor-in-chief of LUI magazine
- Michaela Kristýna Máchová, who has undergone this “re-education”
WHEN: August 5, 2026, starting at 4:00 p.m.
WHERE: Europa Experience, Národní 10, Prague
