Join us for this day to mark the many digital achievements of the WW1 Centenary over the last five years. The event will be in two parts and led by the Living Legacies 1914-18 Engagement Centre's digital team and will include a range of community-based projects that have used digital technologies to explore WW1 and its legacies, with roundtable discussions in the afternoon.

PART 1 Project Interactions - No Registration Required

There will be activities for all ages using the latest in technologies, from a series of kiosks illustrating community project successes, through to demonstrations of technologies including the latest 3D, Green Screen photos and virtual reality, with some special surprises!

PART 2 Digital Roundtable - Registration Required

Short presentations from community projects will provide a chance to see what we have learned through using digital approaches and what we have all learned from HLF-supported projects. The remainder of the afternoon will also look at ‘where next’ for the digital legacies of the Centenary of the war. We do not want to lose all the digital resources and information that have been developed through our Centenary community projects.
