In the wake of violent conflicts, it is not unusual to observe waves of solidarity rushing to civilian communities. How to make that solidarity sustainable as the conflicts continue? What are key ingredients that strengthen this solidarity and transform it into structured action? How can solidarity contribute to rebuilding communities after conflict? These are some of the questions we explore in our conversation with Valeriia Shchotkina, Marzena Ples and Soraya Sarradhi-Nelson through stories from Ukraine, Iran and Colombia among others. Join us for another round-table conversation.
