14-18 NOW had a successful first season. There is evidence of strong impact on the participating organisations in terms of ambition, practice, partnerships, funding and skills.
The impact on audiences has been powerful with many audience members describing a deeper connection with the First World War and strong social, intellectual, emotional and spiritual outcomes with many examples of audience members having experiences that they feel will last a lifetime.
‘Completely extraordinary. Never seen anything like it before. Fascinating, educational, moving and astonishing.’ After a War attender
