We are running a series of events from 2 July to 24 September suitable for families and young children to reflect on the themes of peace and reconciliation and how language learning and empathy for others can be a conduit for peace. 

We will have an interactive visitor booklet in the cathedral with a discovery trail on the themes of language learning and a poetry exhibition in The Chapterhouse with entries from schools to our poetry competition Mother Tongue Other Tongue. 

The Coventry Young Poet Laureate Aamani Kanda has contributed a poem for the exhibition and visitors will be able to vote for their favourites. 

We also have 2 evening talks from our Warwick academics based on their current research specialisms on The Blitz and German womens' experience of defeat in 1945. Suitable for adults only.

Our website gives all the details for each event - Peace and Reconciliation. All events and activities are free of charge. Booking is only required for the evening talks via the webpage.
