ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
🌍 Our online conversation #2 on “Resilience Narratives: Facing Societal Challenges” took place on Thursday, 25 April 2024, as part of the series Ec(h)o Effect: Conversations on War & Environment, curated and moderated by Ines Montalvao from AwE. In this episode, our featured speakers, Ali Akbar Mehta and Colin Greer, were joined by esteemed guests Alnoor Ladha and Lynn Murphy.
This event was held online and this is the audio version of the session, also available as video on AwE's Youtube channel.
In this session, we delve into the pressing question of democratic decolonization under threat from the over-militarization of responses to war and the movement of peoples facing war and climate crises. Alnoor Ladha's work at the intersection of political organizing, systems thinking, structural change, and narrative journalism offers invaluable insights. Lynn Murphy, co-founder of Transition Resource Circle (TRC) along with Ladha, brings her expertise and enriches our exploration of coping strategies amidst environmental devastation and warfare, and a critical perspective on the role of philanthropy in addressing societal challenges. .
Together, we weave tales of sorrow and resilience amidst the debris of destruction, infusing them with threads of hope for the future.
