Weidenfeld Scholars Reunion

Inaugural Alumni event

22 - 24 October 2010
Sunningdale Park

The Institute for Strategic Dialogue was delighted to host the inaugural reunion for graduates of the Weidenfeld Scholarships and Leadership Programme from 22-24 October at Sunningdale Park, near Ascot. The weekend provided a chance for Scholars who have finished their studies to reunite and re-engage with the Alumni network. Alongside social activities, the event featured a panel discussion about the potential repercussions of the US Supreme Court’s decision in the Holder vs Humanitarian Law Project case. Approximately 30 alumni travelled from across the world to attend the event.
