You are warmly invited to join us at St Matthew's Conference Centre in central London (SW1P 2BU) on Wednesday 17 August for an afternoon exploring the vital role of education in building a peaceful future for South Sudan.
We hope you can attend in person for the chance to meet these impressive speakers. However, there is an option to join online for those unable to travel to London.
At this event you will meet three courageous leaders from South Sudan who have come to London to discuss education as a catalyst for peacebuilding and development, and draw some wider lessons for the role of education in societies which are experiencing fragmentation and conflict.
