One Year of War – Remembrance & Questions About War and Peace

A year of the full scale war has passed; 365 days of unimaginable suffering. We, who mostly witness this suffering from the outside as researchers, seekers of knowledge, questioners, are deeply moved and at a loss before questions. The war, which began much earlier, plunges us into uncertainty, because the full extent is hardly comprehensible, and the developments are hardly understandable. The Peace & Conflict Talk (PaCT) is a forum for interested people who want to understand. We share our perspectives on the past and recent states and developments. The peace and conflict research community continues to strive for understanding. At this very special day of the 24th we have questions. How are the people in Ukraine? How are our colleagues? What has happened, what is happening, and what will happen? Can we find hope, can people in Ukraine hope? At our 6th PaCT we give space to our colleagues in Ukraine and hear how they are doing, what do they need, what moves them? To this end, we have invited our colleague Iryna, who will provide insights on the anniversary. In addition, we will briefly look at the question of how peace concepts stood in Germany when the full scale war began, based on the Bielefeld Peace Study.
