Honouring a week of Remembrance 2021
^^^ From now until Nov 10th Sam Cowan will hop on facebook + youtube to host 20min pop-up sessions with wonderful people in the Battlefield community - All in preparation for our National Day of Remembrance, 2021.
The year 2020 was the first time we were ever in a situation where we couldn't gather together. So for the most part, Remembrance Day 2020 was spent alone, in private, far from the friends and family with who we had always surrounded ourselves.
Yeah.
For me...sheesh, for many, it was tough.
So I decided, hey! Let's call upon 11 beautiful people in the battlefield community to help with a Remembrance Day youtube video.
^^^ For Remembrance Day 2020, I chatted with 11 beautiful people in the battlefield community for a Remembrance Day youtube video we put online - this year, I call upon 11 more, but this time, we're popping up live.
TIP: How to watch 2021 livestreams? 'Like' The Battlefield Tours facebook page or 'Subscribe' to The Battlefield Tours youtube channel to catch one live, or get the notification to view for later.
This year, again, I find myself heartbreakingly far from the Last Post.
So, this year, I again, extend this invite to 11 extraordinary individuals in the Battlefield community, to join me on a 1-on-1 livestream for our battlefield community.
The livestreams will be edited into another Remembrance Day video, which will be launched on our youtube on Remembrance Day.
From now until Nov 10th I will hop online now and again to host a 20min session with one of these wonderful humans - 'like' our facebook page or 'subscribe' to our youtube channel to catch one live, or get the notification to view for later.
The (3) questions I'll be asking this year:
- Who are you and what do you do in the remembrance community? - What is remembrance to you?
- What are you most looking forward to next year?
Dear friends,
I look forward to having the privilege and honour to chat with you all through Remembrance Week, 2021.
And in 2022?
Who knows, perhaps we'll see you in real life at the Menin Gate in Flanders.
