On behalf of the Women of Color Advancing Peace, Security and Conflict Transformation (WCAPS) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Policy Working Group, the WCAPS Young Ambassadors Program, and N Square, we would like to invite you to a discussion on “The CBRN Discourse: What is the language of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear policy across the generations?” This fireside chat-style discussion will illuminate some of the challenges that exist in how different generations discuss weapons of mass destruction issues. It will explore better ways to engage the next generation in traditional policy discussions and improve the overall engagement of different generations. After the formal fireside chat conversations, there will be light refreshments and time for networking to continue the discussion.
