The past few weeks have been busy for the Initiative, so here’s a brief round-up of our news and activities:
Launch
It’s ten days since the Initiative was launched with a bang by Robert Fisk and Yusuf Sayman. Photographs from the Initiative launch taken by former King’s College London student Dolly Clew can now be found here. Our technicians are working on developing a video of Robert Fisk’s lecture and we will make it available as soon as possible.
