United against Extremism was the title of this year’s Slough & Burnham Peace Symposium which was held on Saturday at Burnham Park Academy.
More than 180 people attended the symposium in Opendale Road to listen to distinguished speakers as they delivered their views on how to promote a peaceful co-existence.
Now in its 11th year, guests at the event included representatives ranging from The Royal British Legion, Thames Valley Police and councillors from Slough Borough Council.
The event was organized by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Slough.
Vice president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Slough, Atiq Ahmad Bhatti, said: “This year we have seen a high calibre of guests who share in the common underlying theme of united against extremism. It’s been a truly remarkable symposium this year.”
Pupils from Burnham Academy were also on hand to welcome guests to the symposium, and show off their art work based on the theme.
Mr Bhatti added: “Burnham Park Academy have extended an amazing hand of friendship to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Slough and we look forward to working with them on many projects of the course of the coming year.”
