One hundred years later, the First World War can still surprise us!
- Workshop: Introduction to the Great War:
This is a workshop which we have developed in order to offer people (young and old) an engaging introduction to the events of the First World War.
Together, we examine twelve key moments – starting in 1914 and going through to 1918. By literally piecing together a timeline the story of the Great War begins to take shape.
Next we scrutinize a wealth of local documents, photographs and maps to understand of the ‘big’ events in the Great War relate to the experience of people at home.
Exploring the little-known ‘home front’ of the First World War is an excellent way to relate places we know with the huge battles and struggles which define this period across the world!
