FRONTLINE - Baltic Youth For Security
Russia’s imperialistic ambitions have shined a new light on the importance of different safety measures for the Baltic states. With the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990’s the youth in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia have grown up in a free, democratic state, but is this freedom a given or needs to be earned?
Our youth are not only the future, they need to be engaged in these discussions now. If no one will start the discussion with youth - we will start the discussion ourselves.
KAS and LATO want to join forces with Club “House” (KM) to make an informative podcast for youth. Based on the idea of focusing more on how youths' perception of politics and political engagement has changed in the Baltic states after Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine.

How can the burden and risk sharing concepts be applied to NATO missions such as Afghanistan? How can burden sharing be improved?
