Upcoming events
Remembering War, Rethinking the Tasks of Peace
80 years on from VE Day, amidst continuing conflict around the world, Westminster Abbey Institute’s autumn series in 2025 explores themes of remembrance and renewal, asking: Why remember war? How can public servants balance the pursuit of the ideal with pragmatic realities? What resources can shape the current tasks of peace?
Further details of events in this series will be shared here and via our mailing list soon.
