Institute Is Set To Host An Exhibition Of Poetry
Blackwood Miners’ Institute is set to host an exhibition of poetry specially created by pupils of local schools to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day.
Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni and Lewis School Pengam worked with local author Patrick Jones to produce some poignant work for the exhibition set around the theme ‘How Can Life Go On’, which will open for a week from the 26th of January.
Members of the public are also invited to attend a commemorative event taking place at 10:30am on Friday 27th of January to mark the international day of remembrance for victims of the Holocaust. The day will honour the survivors and remember those who have lost their lives. It will also provide an opportunity to reflect on the way we live our lives today.
Leader of Caerphilly County Borough Council, Cllr. Keith Reynolds, said, “This is the third year we have hosted a community event to commemorate this important national day of remembrance. The pupils have been hard at work creating some moving pieces for the exhibition, I would urge people to join us for the special event on Friday to remember those who lost their lives.”
