The Book of Remembrance will be displayed in the exhibition<\/p><\/div>\n

This Remembrance Day marks 100 years since World War One, but closer to home, it\u2019s an important moment to celebrate Welsh contributions to peace.<\/p>\n

To coincide with the 80th<\/sup> anniversary of the Temple of Peace and Health, the Wales for Peace exhibition is open throughout November. It is the culmination of a project that has spanned four years, and gathered stories from across Wales.<\/p>\n

Craig Owen, Head of Wales for Peace, thinks the emphasis on local activism sets the exhibition apart. \u201cWe’re constructing a timeline which will draw out the role of the people of Wales,\u201d he says. \u201cOften these stories are told individually, but they’ve never been illustrated alongside each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exhibition is organised by the Welsh Centre for International Affairs. Although it explores stories from the past, Chief Executive Susie Ventris-Field believes the aim is to inspire visitors to focus on the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cCelebrating people who aren’t always recognised shows that whoever you are, you can make a difference,\u201d she says. \u201cWe wanted to give people the opportunity to find out about the temple\u2019s history, but also to think about what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Craig and Susie both emphasise the importance of Welsh internationalism. As the first Fair Trade Nation, and aiming now become the first Nation of Sanctuary, Wales is a strong advocate for world peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe context of Brexit has made some divisions become clearer,\u201d Susie says. \u201cThe echo chamber nature of social media means that you’re getting trapped in a cycle [of opinion]. Wales has been a place of sanctuary in the past, and can continue to do so. I think that’s one of the messages.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Temple of Peace and Health is open 9 \u2013 5 on weekdays to allow visitors to explore the exhibition, alongside a programme of events for all ages to celebrate #Temple80. Visit the website<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
