The first two days of the UNESCO MOST Winter School brought together scientists, researchers and diplomats to reflect on possible outcomes of the Russian-Ukrainian war.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Topics for the first two days:<\/p>\n

Contemplating on the possible scenarios for the end of the war in Ukraine, this panel investigates various alternative scenarios and explores political, economic, ecological and cultural consequences of the conflict. Why has the war started and how it will end? How to redefine European security architecture and is it possible to establish a new global peace order?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the world faces both small and large-scale natural disasters caused by climate change and human intervention in the environment, no holistic solution to the interlinked challenges has emerged. Should we talk about ecology or ecologies? This roundtable strives to foster intergenerational dialogue about the environment and the questions of global and local responsibilities.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In light of the environmental crises and war in Ukraine, the importance of global and regional cooperation is being emphasised among scholars, policymakers and diplomats. But while the networked and globalised world is increasingly connected online and through various transnational ties, the pandemic, armed conflict and energy crisis are imposing new challenges to establishing and maintaining intercultural dialogue. This panel investigates how cultural diplomacy as a type of soft power can contribute to building bridges between nations and producing reconciliatory narratives.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
