The FreedomBus is a laboratory on wheels for culture and education – an international mobile university.
Within two years (2016 and 2017) and two stages the bus will travel about 3000 km through Central Europe.
35 participants from up to 15 European countries from the special fields of arts, science and handicraft will
closely experience prominent historic European sites.
• By meeting one another the participants will make an intense and meaningful experience.
• Subjects of Europe‘s past and present will be worked on scientifically and artistically during the ride
and at the stops.
• On board of the FreedomBus there will take place lectures, discussions and movie presentations. At
the different stops there will be provided exhibitions, workshops, body language and moral courage
trainings.
