After His Excellency's address on the Military Role in Peace Building, the  eight topics discussed and debated by the students were split into two categories, International and Local.  These are given below. The Chief Minister gave his observations on local issues that cause conflict and disharmony and summed up the mornings proceedings. He congratulated the students on their excellent contributions throughout.

The proceedings were recorded for us by BBC Jersey and we expect to have edited highlights available for you to listen to on this web site shortly. All photographs taken on the day are available for viewing and download here.
