AN INTERNATIONAL PEACE CONFERENCE LED BY CHILDREN
Took place on Tuesday 17th April, 11 am - 4 pm
Attlee Room, Portcullis House, Houses of Parliament, London SW1A 0AA

Read the conference report here.

Whenever there are major conflicts in the world, children are the worst affected victims. But we rarely hear their voices and their plight is neglected, both by the extremists causing violence and by the government agencies preparing the counter response.

This conference will give a voice to children and young people. They will be the speakers, along with others. The audience will include children, scholars, politicians, diplomats, business people and community leaders.

Chairman: Dr Prem Sharma, OBE, FRSA

Event sponsored by: Jeremy Lefroy MP, Richard Harrington MP and Alok Sharma MP

The conference:
1. Provided a platform for children and young people to share their conflict zone experiences; express their concerns and suggest strategies openly, confidently and without fear, with key decision makers.
2. Produced a DVD resource for wide distribution that will be educational, informative and spread the message of peace.
