The LRE Foundation Member Seminar is an enriching opportunity to get together with other members, exchange new ideas and best practices within the network, and keep up to date on the Foundation’s latest project developments and future plans for 2024 and beyond.
Like in the past editions, the seminar will promote the sharing of ideas and best practices among remembrance organisations, as members will be invited to take the stage and share relevant news from their organisation.
A final thematic session will serve as a reflection and discussion starting point regarding the 80th anniversary of the end of the war and the future of commemorations.
