The principal objective of the conference was to look at the implications of this agenda for those charged with tackling unfair discrimination and promoting racial equality.

The key issues the conference considered were:

o What do we already know about social capital and ethnic diversity in Britain?
o Is social capital a useful policy tool in a multi ethnic Britain?
o How are civil renewal and social capital being used in the UK?
o How can social capital and civil renewal transform politics in a multi-ethnic Britain?
