Sips & Quips with Maria Patsikouridi

In this new episode of Sips & Quips, Megan Zutt meets up with Maria Patsikouridi for a cappuccino in a café in Trento, Italy. First interviewee of the Trento group, Maria is also one of the two student representatives of the 2021-2023 IMSISS cohort.

Originally from Greece, Maria paused her career as a primary school teacher to go back to the other side of education. Having already obtained a master’s degree in social issues of education, she decided to join the IMSISS programme and further study the relationship between education and political violence, one that “shouldn’t be ignored”!

“Security is about daily life and security is mostly about social life (…) and how we educate the young generation to be”.

Tune in to discover Maria’s perception of the leading security issues in Greece and join Megan Zutt in finding out more about security, education and political violence!
