Scores of delegates from all over the world took part in a three-day International Leadership Conference in London which culminated in an awards ceremony last Friday. Organised by the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) this educational and informative event provided an opportunity for participants to network and share knowledge and learning.
Among themes discussed and debated included Family, Peace and Sustainable Development; Media & Peacebuilding: The impact of Social Media; Peace & Migration: Cross-Regional Perspectives; Women’s Leadership in the Prevention of Radicalisation; Peace & Security Challenges through Trade and Economic Integration.
Attendees included Baron Raj Loomba CBE, MPs from Azerbaijan, Italy, Israel. Kossovo, Austria. A session on Social Media was chaired by BBC World Affairs Correspondent Humphrey Hawksley.
Hats off, in particular, to Birmingham couple Dr David Earle, Vice President of UPF UK, and Patricia Earle, a women’s champion and role model, for their longstanding, extraordinary and selfless contributions to a wide range of good causes. They have devoted their lives to bringing like-minded people together wherever in the world they may be and their achievements so far are exemplary.
