Officially, it’s armed conflict. But is it time for an update? Has the end goal changed? And, who gets to decide? There's a lot of rhetoric today about whether or not we are in, or on the brink of, some kind of new global war.  While this may feel unprecedented for many in the West, conflict is still commonplace in many parts of the world. But what exactly IS a state of war? Has it changed? And what does it feel like to experience being in a war? We explore these questions and more in this episode We start off with a panel discussion hosted by Allie Elwell, with Marissa Diaz, and Col.

Beyond Brussels pod host Allie Elwell held her own panel discussion with two members of the Online Platforms: Power Hierarchies in a Digital Society discussion: Maryant Fernandez Perez (@maryantfp) from European Digital Rights and Gerald Hensel (@ghensel), founder of Fearless Democracy. **Special edition of the podcast featuring some of the events at this year's BSIS International Conference: Digital Disruptions - How Technology Changes Our Reality*** Information on the Conference:https://www.kent.ac.uk/brussels/conference/index.html https://www.facebook.com/bsisconference/ The Brussels School of International Studies (BSIS) International Conference 2018 will explore the dramatic changes sparked by persisting technological innovations: developments shaking the foundations of established political, economic, and social paradigms. What began as a parallel digital sphere now disrupts the physical world, fundamentally changing our understanding of society.  What impacts does technology have on our identities and the rise of extremism? How does the borderless online realm impact our system of nation states and democracy? What importance will we ascribe to the concept of trust, in an increasingly faceless transparent world? This academic event endeavours to examine these developments in more depth through the examples of radicalisation, political communication, and humanitarian aid.

Brussels is a city of many layers. From the "EU Bubble" to the streets of Matonge, it's a vibrant and complex capital city. We wanted to peel those layers, discover the voices that make our new home so fascinating. Each of our guests have had their own, unique journey that led them to call Brussels their home.  “Tapestry of voices” features: Refugees Got Talenthttps://www.facebook.com/refugeesgottalent/ Amanda Klekowski von Koppenfels, Brussels School of International Studies https://www.kent.ac.uk/brussels/staff/profiles/brussels/koppenfels.html Anna Hill, Serve the Cityhttps://www.servethecity.brussels/ Bora Kamwanya, Africa-Europe Diaspora Development Platform https://twitter.com/ikamwanyahttps://www.facebook.com/ADEPTPlatform/ Sihame Haddioui, Artist & Molenbeek Activisthttps://www.facebook.com/sihamehadd/ Adnane Lamarti, Dancer & Directorhttps://www.facebook.com/adnaneboom/ Giacomo Zucchelli, BSIS Student & EU Parliament Staffhttps://twitter.com/zuc_g Anonymous, Night Shop Owner Credits: Leads: Marissa Diaz & Niki Papadogiannikis Interviews by: Katrina Coles, Allie Elwell, Lois McLatchie, Zoheb Mashiur, Hattie Schofield,
