Pamphlet:
Planning Remembrance Day Events in Your School: We produced this pamphlet in 2018, drawing on research data, and input from teachers, school leaders and other organisations involved in remembrance events. The pamphlet offers questions and suggestions to help with thinking about your school's event, and preparatory and follow-up activities, with links to resources. We do not propose any particular form of remembrance event, but we hope that the information in this pamphlet will help you make your own decisions, and explore ideas, views and experiences, along with a range of resources. Different school contexts, locations, and ages of pupils, will inform choices. We are not advocating any particular stance or approach to Remembrance Day.
