What role can student movements play in international conflicts? In Georgia, Ukraine, and Belarus, young people are navigating everyday life amid political repression, democratic struggles, and ongoing or looming conflict.
What opportunities and responsibilities do young people in these environments have to get involved? And what kind of impact can they realistically make? To explore these questions, the discussion focuses on student movements emerging from these specific contexts and examine how they respond to pressure, uncertainty, and political change.
Speakers:
- Yuliia Dziuba, President of the European Democracy Youth Network
- Alina Kharysava, International Secretary of the Belarusian Students’ Association
- Liza Basilaia, Georgian youth activist and content creator.
