Societal Resilience Before, During, and After Conflict
Conflict stress-tests societies like no other crisis. From communities preparing for the outbreak of hostilities, to populations enduring active conflict, to nations rebuilding in its aftermath, each phase carries insightful lessons for societal resilience. This session examines what we can learn from these experiences - ,the behaviours, structures, and bonds that allow societies to absorb, adapt, and ultimately recover - and how those lessons can inform resilience-building far beyond the battlefield.
