The conference was an opportunity to reflect on the two-decade long history of Focus, to share stories of battles lost and won, and discuss ideas and pathways towards a better world.

“The challenges we face are even more serious now and we need to strengthen more people-to-people initiatives,” reflected Ajarn Surichai Wun’gaeo of Chulalongkorn University and Chairperson of the Board of Focus, in his remarks to open the conference.
