CEREMONY NOVEMBER 11
Remembering to better understand history
To mark the 11 November commemoration, one of our primary school classes took part in the ceremony held at the Assistens and Vestre cemeteries in Copenhagen.
Wearing a ‘Bleuet de France’ badge, the students paid their respects at the war memorial in honour of the French and Belgian soldiers of the First World War, as well as all those who died for France. Alongside French representatives and numerous Danish and international dignitaries, they took part in a particularly moving moment of remembrance.
This ceremony enabled the children to gain a better understanding of the events they had studied in class and the importance of the duty to remember.
🌸 The Bleuet de France is the French symbol of remembrance and solidarity with veterans and victims of war. First used after the First World War, it also evokes the flowers that continued to grow on the battlefields despite the destruction.
A wonderful lesson in history, passing on knowledge and citizenship for our students.
