The event is organized by the Pontis Foundation and this year\u2019s theme was trust. Among the speakers were Norwegian extremism expert and a survivor of Anders Breivik\u2019s attack Bj\u00f8rn Ihler, Swedish philanthropist Daniel Sachs, and Hungarian activist Veronika M\u00f3ra, who defends organizations against Viktor Orb\u00e1n\u2019s regime. The summit took place on December 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to multiple surveys, Slovakia has low levels of trust among people and towards our institutions. Reasons include the weakening position of institutions and growing societal polarization. However, for a society to successfully withstand crises, it must be united. This is why trust was the main topic of the second annual Impact Summit, organized by the Pontis Foundation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event welcomed more than 300 participants, from representatives of public administration and academia to business leaders and members of the nonprofit sector. Guests from Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia attended, alongside ambassadors from five countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trust Despite Breivik\u2019s Attack and Government Repression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bj\u00f8rn Ihler, a survivor of Anders Breivik\u2019s attack<\/strong>&nbsp;on the Norwegian island of Ut\u00f8ya, was one of the keynote speakers of the summit. Facing death changed his life\u2019s direction \u2013 he founded an organization dedicated to combating hate and engaging in conversations about the dangers of intolerance. Despite his traumatic experience, he has not lost faith in people and the world. At the event, he spoke about how to create space for dialogue in a divided society.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe all have a role to play in building a safer world for all. It starts with us,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;he said, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the human value of our conversational opponents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Bjorn Ihler\" class=\"wp-image-1704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-738x492.jpg 738w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-1746x1164.jpg 1746w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-408x272.jpg 408w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-816x544.jpg 816w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-356x237.jpg 356w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn-712x475.jpg 712w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bjorn.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Bjorn Ihler<\/em>. <em>Photo: Pontis Foundation<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another inspiring figure at the Impact Summit was&nbsp;<strong>Veronika M\u00f3ra, director of the \u00d6kot\u00e1rs Foundation<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>in Hungary<\/strong>. She played a key role in legal protection of NGOs from Viktor Orb\u00e1n\u2019s government repression. During a police raid on the foundation, M\u00f3ra was even placed in handcuffs.&nbsp;<em>\u201cIf you stay out of politics, you can live as you wish. But how you live depends on who you are,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;she said, describing the situation in her home country. Recently, measures against civil society have also become a relevant issue in Slovakia. M\u00f3ra shared insights on how society can learn from Hungary\u2019s experiences, mobilize, and protect the nonprofit sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taking Action Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A particularly powerful moment came from Ukrainian lawyer and activist Oleksandra Matviichuk. After Russia invaded Ukraine, she refused to leave. Together with her team, she witnessed the horrors in Irpin and Bucha firsthand.&nbsp;<em>\u201cIt\u2019s okay not to get used to atrocities. When we start accepting them as normal, we lose our humanity,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cMany of us ask ourselves whether we have anything to rely on in a world where we feel increasingly uncertain. According to the latest Edelman Trust Barometer, which measures trust in institutions worldwide, people place the most trust in businesses and civil society organizations. They are the only institutions perceived as both competent and ethical. However, relying solely on business and nonprofits is not enough. We also need active people, experts, and professionals with strong values in state institutions and local governments,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;said Martina Koles\u00e1rov\u00e1, Executive Director of the Pontis Foundation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The business sector at the Impact Summit was represented by&nbsp;<strong>Swedish entrepreneur Daniel Sachs<\/strong>, who frequently speaks about the need for companies to actively engage in society. He even supports political innovations in Europe himself.&nbsp;<em>\u201cNetworking and cooperation are absolutely essential for strengthening trust in society,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Sachs said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the event, Hungarian media magnate Zolt\u00e1n Varga, along with Czech and Slovak entrepreneurs V\u00e1clav Muchna and Andrej Kiska Jr., explored the question: Does democracy need philanthropists?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-738x492.jpg 738w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-1746x1164.jpg 1746w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-408x272.jpg 408w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-816x544.jpg 816w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-356x237.jpg 356w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs-712x475.jpg 712w, https:\/\/impactsummit.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sachs.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Daniel Sachs<\/em>. <em>Photo: Pontis Foundation<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Modern Face of Civil Society<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>White Crow Award recipient Tom\u00e1\u0161 B\u00e1lint, relationship education expert Zuzana Bend\u00edkov\u00e1, and civic activist Zuzana Jan\u00ed\u010dkov\u00e1 shared their experiences in the nonprofit sector, illustrating how individuals and organizations can contribute to rebuilding trust in society.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Impact Summit also featured Pavol Kosn\u00e1\u010d, director of the DEKK Institute, who exclusively presented the latest survey on trust in Slovakia.
