Humor is No Joke!

Public Discussion
Aug
1
Friday
3:50 PM–4:50 PM
MOL-New Europe Foundation Stage
The language of the event: hungarian

Humor is more than entertainment: it is a psychological, social, and neurological phenomenon that shapes our relationships and self-image. Together with our speakers, we will explore the power of laughter, the boundaries of humor, and its role in society. When does a joke become a constructive force, and when can it cause harm? How do we interpret cultural differences in humor? An engaging conversation about how humor truly knows no joking—but remains an indispensable part of our lives.
