Description

This event will explore the ways in which the Falkland Islands has developed and changed since the war forty years ago. The Falklands is undoubtedly a much different place, but what has changed, and have those changes always been for the best?

The panel of speakers, followed by a Q&A, will explore a range of issues, including political and social change, economic development, diplomacy, the environment, and relations with the UK.

The event is jointly organised by the Falkland Islands Government Office in London and the University of the West of England.

Speakers will include Falkland Islanders, academics and veterans.
