In a country increasingly fearful of dangerous extremist beliefs, Midlands region stands out as a place where people from diverse backgrounds come together in a relative peace. In order to promote this idea, explore ways to improve and expand further initiatives, and develop Midlands region as a model for British identity, integration, social solidarity & community cohesion, BOPA will organise events bringing together policy makers, community, business, religious and cultural leaders, academics, students and young people in open dialogue about issues that affect everyone living in Midlands region & Great Britain.
