Generation Peace
Podcast Description
Is it really true that a country with a youthful population is prone to conflict over peace? What can we learn from young people who have experienced both, and how can we empower them to take even bigger strides towards a more peaceful future?In this podcast, Dr Michaelina Jakala from the Centre for Peace and Security at Coventry University explores case studies from a range of different countries that will challenge the way you think about the role young people play in peace and conflict. In a series of conversations with young people, practitioners and academics, Dr Jakala asks what we can learn from the experiences of child soldiers in Bosnia, from Generation 2000 – the Kurdish Millennials who’ve come of age in the aftermath of the US invasion of Iraq, and from the actions of young Colombians following the signing of the 2016 Peace Agreement.

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.
