A MEANINGFUL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
The Winston Churchill Centre for Education at the British Normandy Memorial is designed to be more than a visit. It offers young people the opportunity to connect with the past in ways that are meaningful, memorable and thought-provoking.
Through historical research, immersive technology and personal testimony, students leave not only better informed, but inspired to remember.
PRE-VISIT RESEARCH AND DISCOVERY
Before visiting, students can explore the Memorial’s enhanced Digital Roll of Honour to identify a fallen serviceman — often someone from their local area.
Using guidance provided by the Trust’s researcher students can begin to investigate that individual’s life and service. Verified findings are added to the Memorial’s permanent records and credited to both the student and their school.
This phase builds a powerful personal connection, as students later stand before the name they have researched at the Memorial itself.
