Generation Peace is a podcast that challenges the way we think about the role young people play in peace and conflict, and that shines a light on how those young people can bring about change. Hosted by Dr Michaelina Jakala, academic lead at the Centre for Peace and Security at Coventry University, each episode focuses on a different country; its history of peace and conflict, how the young people in that country have affected change and what we can learn from them. This episode looks at the Kurdish Millennials – those that came of age in the aftermath of the US-led invasion of Iraq.

Joining Mivhaelina for the discusison are Kurdish writer, academic and politician Dr Mohammedali Yaseen Taha; Mahnaz Lashkri, Strategic Projects and Partnerships Manager at the University of Kurdistan Hewlêr and Dr Bahar Baser, Professor of Politics and International Relations at Durham University.
