Trident: Sowing seeds of peace

This year, 2016, is 'decision time' for Trident: will the UK take the first step towards a world without nuclear weapons or commit to at least another 50 years of them? A vote on renewal of Trident will be put before parliament in 2016, probably in September or October.

A series of three one-day workshops in London have been organised by peace organisations to help develop communication skills to 'tell the truth about Trident' as decision time fast approaches. The days will run from 10.30am - 4.30pm.

18 June: "Making the Best Use of Social Media" Friends House, Euston
