Dynamite
Exploring the fault lines of today’s world
Dynamite was born from a contradiction: a brilliant and terrible invention. Alfred Nobel created it as a tool for progress, capable of opening tunnels and building roads. But that same destructive force, once used in war, left him a deeply troubled man.
Today, the world itself feels like dynamite: everything seems ready to explode at any moment: crises, conflicts, political and technological upheavals. And it is precisely in this context that the work of journalists becomes even more complex and essential.
A series of events to help us read a world in transformation: a journey across the fault lines of the present, in an attempt to understand where we are heading.

Europe in the storm
- Friday 27 February 2026 at 21:00
Never in the past year has Europe found itself under pressure from so many directions: from Trump’s America to Putin’s Russia, all the way to Xi Jinping’s China. And that’s without counting the internal forces that, in different ways, undermine the stability of the Union. Yet Europe continues to strive to remain as faithful as possible to its democratic and liberal identity. What challenges lie ahead? What risks and opportunities? And should we Europeans perhaps learn to appreciate Europe a little more?

China and the global challenge
- Friday 10 April 2026 at 21:00 - 17:00
It is no longer possible to avoid confronting China. It is already a rival economic and political power, acting on the global stage according to its own agenda and balancing authoritarian regimes, strategic alliances, and great‑power ambitions. Its challenge to the West plays out above all in Asia, from the Western Pacific to Taiwan, an area of decisive importance that we still tend to overlook. Is China truly destined to impose its model and achieve global dominance, or is its success less inevitable than it appears?
