Wilton Park's 60 years of experience
Wilton Park is still actively carrying out its role as a forum for democracy
building, post-conflict reconciliation and international dialogue first
set by Winston Churchill 60 years ago.
Wilton Park has been influencing international decision-making for six decades at our centre based on the south coast of England.
This year we will be organising over 50 policy conferences at Wilton Park and other places. Since 1946 Wilton Park has run over 1,000 events addressing the most sensitive and pressing issues affecting the world.
As an academically independent agency of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office we bring together decision-makers and opinion-formers from around the world to address the most pressing global issues.
