This year speakers include:

Dr David Appleby – Lecturer in Early Modern British History, University of Nottingham, and adviser to the National Civil War Museum, on freedom and persecution in the post civil war era. 

Masoud Ahmadi – International Liberty Association, talking about his escape from persecution.

Phil Lyons – CEO of the National Holocaust Centre, who will describe the work done at the Centre and discuss the use of survivor testimony and recent innovations, including the Forever project.

Plus:

Ben Huxtable of Release International and Andrew Smith of Open Doors.

A video of an interview with Dr Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and former Archbishop of Canterbury.

There will be a refreshments break at 11.25am | This is a free event.
