First World War Centenary Partnership Day 2016
19 / 02 / 2016
The Welsh Government would like to thank those who attended and contributed to the First World War Centenary Partnership Day held with Imperial War Museums on 28 January at Aberystwyth University. The event included the launch of the Cymru’n Cofio Wales Remembers 1914-1918 Programme 2016 brochure.
Feedback on the event has been extremely positive. A summary can be found here . We will be looking at the possibility of holding a similar event next year.
The Cymru’n Cofio Wales Remembers 1914-1918 website is managed by People’s Collection Wales and provides information on events, projects, news and signposting services for activities of Welsh interest. Over the coming months and years, the site will continue to reflect how the people of Wales will commemorate this important centenary in Wales and beyond, through information provided by individuals, communities and organisations. Twitter and Facebook accounts are also in place.
See below for information on some of the topics discussed during the events, which include the secondary school grant funding for First World War commemorations; Cadw’s grants for war memorials; and the Heritage Lottery Fund’s grant schemes, among others, and a link to our Partners page which contains details on many of the organisations present at the event.
We are grateful to Imperial War Museums for its continued support in commemorating the centenary of the First World War.
