Young Researchers’ School Discusses How to Talk to Young People About War

On 2 February, Sabīne Ozola, Research Assistant at the LAC Institute of Arts and Cultural Studies, participated in a seminar organised by the LAC Young Researchers’ School (JPS).

During the seminar, she presented her involvement in the research project “Preparing for War: Meanings of War in Public Discourse and Youth Perception in Latvia” and shared insights gained from the international training programme “How to Talk About War?”. The session developed into an in-depth discussion on how to address the topic of war with young people and the challenges associated with such conversations.

In addition, the seminar provided JPS participants with an opportunity to assume the role of researchers, analyse the specificities of working with a youth target audience, and critically reflect on the challenges inherent in this field of inquiry.
