The VSP Network held a virtual conference in June 2022 with the objective of developing a shared understanding of fundamental concepts and the significance of trust in areas impacted by violence and insecurity. The conference brought together experts, practitioners, officials, and people affected by violence from the Americas, Europe, the United Kingdom, and China to promote partnerships for the long-term enhancement of quality of life for individuals residing in such environments. Workshop participants focused on a theoretical and conceptual discussion of the network's themes and explored their relationship with building trust in the context of Latin American societies that have experienced social and armed conflicts in recent decades. The final report served as a contextual basis for the collaborative work at the VSP Network's 2023 summit in Bogotá, Colombia.
