The Wyndham Place Charlemagne Trust - relating ethics, faith and policy in the world

The aims of the Wyndham Place Charlemagne Trust are to bring together people of different cultural, political and religious backgrounds; to address European and world issues, not just from a political and economic perspective but from the point of view of values and beliefs; and to enlighten public opinion and influence those who shape policy.
Its supporters include politicians, academics, former officials and leaders of different faith communities, many with experience of working with or in European and international institutions; and other research bodies and inter-faith organisations with related interests.

To fulfil its objectives, the Trust

- arranges seminars, lectures, conferences and publications addressing difficult and contentious issues concerning

  European and international policies;
- collaborates with other national, European and international bodies with similar aims;

Following a successful series of lectures in 2010 the 2011 programme includes:

A three-part series on "Foreign Policy and its Moral Dilemmas" being organised by Sir Michael Franklin and Lord David Hannay.

The first meeting on "Terrorism, extremism, and religious extremism" will take place at lunchtime on May 4th in Europe House (32 Smith Square).

Europe Day (May 9th) will be marked during Evensong 6.30 pm at Westminster Abbey.
