Titled Conflicting Ideas; Conflict and Compassionate Conversations, the evening will explore how embracing diverse perspectives can foster empathy and understanding in divided times. Afua will be joined by Pascal Matthias, Associate Vice President for EDI and Social Justice, for a wide-ranging conversation drawing on her experiences as a barrister, journalist, and bestselling author.

This live event promises insight, reflection, and a compelling call for more inclusive public dialogue.
