You are invited to a symposium entitled CHILDREN & WORLD WAR ONE: myths,
images and engagement
On Thursday 23 October, 2 - 6:30pm
In Cotswold B, the Conference Centre, University of Worcester, Henwick
Grove, St John's, WR2 6AJ
The centenary of the outbreak of the First World War has led to a
proliferation of: television programmes, publications, museum exhibitions
and heritage events.
Yet, despite the government decision to fund school children to visit the
battlefields, there is a concern that perhaps many of the WWI commemoration
activities have not enthralled many young people.
This symposium aims to bring together academics working on the history and
literature of children and WWI with practitioners who work with young people
in a variety of settings and students interested in volunteering to work
with schools or community groups.
There is no charge for this event which is part of the Institute of
Humanities & Creative Arts' Worcester Week; to book a place please contact
John Powell directly: [log in to unmask]
