Testimonials: 

• “I always leave this event feeling both challenged and inspired to defend the Church’s teaching that life begins at conception, and to help build a culture of life in our world that reflects the inherent value of every human person”  Sophia Tait, West Lothian

• “During the conference I really enjoyed the talk where we learned how to discuss the pro-life cause not in the form of debates but in private one-on-one conversations with friends, also termed ‘relational apologetics”  Emilija Barteskaite, University of St Andrews

• “It’s a fantastic event … you learn how to put into practice the Church’s teaching that all life begins at conception and that we are loved and valued by God from that first moment.”   Tobias Bailey, University of Stirling

• “As a graduate of the University of Edinburgh I know how important the event is to nurture young pro-life leaders for the future.”   Margaret Akers, St Patrick’s, Edinburgh
