At political conferences this autumn we are making the case for supporting people to build peace. At the Labour conference on 26 September, David Newton will chair an event – organised together with CARE International and Saferworld – on the topic of 'Conflicted Development: Can aid help prevent violent conflict?'. At the Conservative conference on 4 October, Dr Laurence Broers is on a Foreign Policy Centre panel to explore 'New opportunities and old challenges on Europe's eastern frontier: What now for EU and UK engagement in the South Caucasus?'. To attend conference accreditation is required.
