​From Geneva: Giving insights from Liberia and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), this episode focuses on Reconsidering Resilience: How young people in conflict contexts cope with violence, and what we learn from them. The framework has three parts: resilience with human agency, social safety in conflict countries, and meaning attribution. The dialogue breaks down the grassroots process for peace and access to resources through aid, trade, and economic development.  An example of advocacy from the DRC is Lucha to support peace through civil society and rule of law.

Guest: Dr. Claudia Seymour is head of Applied Research Projects and Practice in Interdisciplinary Programmes at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland. She is author of The Myth of International Protection: War and Survival in Congo.
