The March of the Phoenix
An engaging memorial walk for young people
More than one hundred years after the end of the Great War, we take a closer look at the commemoration and explore its meaning and relevance. Who do we commemorate? How do we do that? And why? Like the first pilgrims, participants today bring their own rituals and traditions to the Flanders Fields battlefields to remember their loved ones.
During this walk we will visit recent graves at the local military cemetery and perform a traditional Maori ceremony at the New Zealand Memorial Park. In addition, we will leave the beaten path and explore the beautifully lit Irish Peace Park with its distinctive round tower. This walk can be adapted according to age and is possible as an evening activity.
