Generation Peace

Generation Peace: Reflections

Generation Peace is a podcast that challenges the way we think about the role young people play in peace and conflict, and that shines a light on how those young people can bring about change. Hosted by Dr Michaelina Jakala, academic lead at the Centre for Peace and Security at Coventry University, each episode focuses on a different country; its history of peace and conflict, how the young people in that country have affected change and what we can learn from them. In this final episode of the first series, key academics from the Centre - and from the case studies that have featured in the series - gather together to reflect on the themes that have arisen across the previous five episodes, in which we discussed case studies from Bosnia, Colombia, Kurdistan, Iraq and Algeria. The guests are Dr Chas Morrison, Dr Bahar Baser, Dr Jessica Northey and Dr Justina Pinkeviciute. * Read a full transcript of the episode here [https://doi.org/10.57955/3131ead2-8cf9-4c2f-81f1-8a4ff012dd09] For further information visit the Centre for Peace and Security [https://wp.coventry.domains/youthviolenceconflicttransformation/] at Coventry University.
