* Children went digital to deliver their peace message to the world.
Llangollen Online began on Tuesday with a special message of
hope for the world in which local children reflected on the global impact of coronavirus.
Each year since 1952 Llangollen International Musical
Eisteddfod has presented a message of peace and goodwill from the young people
of Wales to the children of the world.
Due to the pandemic, this
year for the first time, the message was created digitally with children from Ysgol Bryn Collen in Llangollen and St Joseph’s Catholic
& Anglican High School in Wrexham, who worked remotely to create the unique performance.
The message, written by Christine Dukes and narrated by the
children, called on us all to reflect on how coronavirus has brought a
different kind of peace to the world and how we can work together to overcome
the impact of the pandemic.
It said: “This global pandemic has allowed us all to stop, pause,
think, think about a world where we are all sharing the same fight for once,
the same enemy at the door for once, the same battle to be fought for once. We
became a ‘we’ not ‘I’”.
The message is available to view here - https://international-eisteddfod.co.uk/llangollen-online/childrens-message-of-peace/
Other content featured on Tuesday includes a message of
support from the Eisteddfod’s Patron HRH The Prince of Wales and the
announcement of the winner of the Llangollen TV Children’s Choir category, which was won
by British Columbia Girls Choir of Canada.
* Llangollen Online runs until Saturday and further details on the daily programme can be found on www.llangollen.net
