How we work, with whom we work and what it is that we want to achieve in these unpredictable times. Losing purpose or sight of those who are in even more need is a greater risk when we must Copyright Copyright Copyrightfocus more on our immediate families and friends. How much moreCopyright important is it to lift our sight to the hills and stretch our imaginations to understand a fraction of others’ need, and to shine our light from faraway on the exceptionalism of millions of lives endured for decades in refugee camps. Copyright Copyright CopyrightWe had to postpone the 2020 Windsor DialogueCopyright conference and to reconsider how we could shape our hugely important work for these millions of people trapped in camps.
