In 1923, &#8216;the Neges&#8217; was the topic of the world&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WelshBiography\/status\/1366331125719687170\">first ever Welsh language broadcast on the BBC<\/a> by the WLNU and Neges founder, Gwilym Davies; and from 1924, the BBC World Service brought it to homes in every nation. Over the century, every generation of young people have been part of forming, sharing and responding to the message of peace. Initially organised through the <a href=\"https:\/\/cymru.global\/wlnu\/\">Welsh League of Nations Union<\/a> (WCIA&#8217;s predecessor at the Temple of Peace), from 1954 it passed to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.urdd.cymru\/en\/\">Urdd Gobaith Cymru<\/a> and has inspired the movement&#8217;s humanitarian and international work ever since &#8211; engaging 1,500 branches and 50,000 members across the country (not to mention many thousands of teachers and school children). It has inspired reciprocal messages from youth movements as far afield as Norway, Nigeria, and New Zealand; and the National Library of Wales archives contain <a href=\"https:\/\/archives.library.wales\/index.php\/replies-to-childrens-wireless-message-cwm-1920s\">hundreds of &#8216;replies&#8217;<\/a> charting the hopes, dreams and aspirations of young people the world over. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>The <strong>International Youth Service<\/strong>, pioneered in Brynmawr, Wales from 1932, continues today through the work of <a href=\"https:\/\/cymru.global\/global-action\/international-volunteering\/\"><strong>UNA Exchange<\/strong> &#8211; WCIA&#8217;s volunteering<\/a> arm.

It started life as the very first campaign of the newly formed Welsh League of Nations Union (WLNU), WCIA&#8217;s predecessor body for whom Wales&#8217; Temple of Peace was originally constructed as a headquarters &#8216;befitting the nation&#8217;s leading movement for world peace and cooperation&#8217;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>The <strong>first documented proposition<\/strong> of the Youth Message idea was in correspondence between Gwilym and David Davies in January 1922. Appointed Honorary Director of the WLNU in February, Rev Gwilym Davies floated his idea to the \u2018Adolescent Conference\u2019 of the Welsh School of Social Service in Llandrindod Wells, April 1922, who <em>\u201cadopted the suggestion with enthusiasm.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp; At the same event, a parallel Women\u2019s Conference discussed and adopted the proposal for a <a href=\"https:\/\/cymru.global\/wcia-news\/wcia-history\/womenspeacepetition\/\">Women\u2019s Peace Petition<\/a> to America., and the 2 campaigns were organised alongside each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>Suggestions for the \u2018World Wireless Message\u2019 were invited by post and received from schools in all 13 counties across Wales, crafted by Gwilym Davies into a narrative for broadcast on 28 June 1922 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplescollection.wales\/items\/502502#?xywh=0%2C-74%2C1300%2C1153&amp;cv=1\">full text here &#8211; first 5 years<\/a>). Transmitted by <strong>Morse Code<\/strong> via the Post Office from <em>\u2018the most powerful station in the world\u2019<\/em> (Leafield in Oxfordshire), the first message was forwarded by the Controller of the <strong>Eiffel Tower \u2013<\/strong> expressing the desire of the young people of Wales that<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cthere will be no need for any of us, as we grow older, to show our pride for the country in which we were born, by going out to hate and kill one another.\u201d<\/p><cite>Wales Youth Message of Peace &amp; Goodwill, 1922-28<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>In 1923, the second message \u2013 based on the same text as 1922 &#8211; was <em>\u2018submitted via hundreds of schools, through lessons given on the message and the League of Nations\u2026 children learned to write the message, and take home to explain to their mothers and fathers.\u2019 <\/em>The broadcaston 18 May 1923 &#8211; marking the anniversary of the first Peace Conference in the Hague in 1899 &#8211; was pronounced as \u2018<strong>World Peace Day<\/strong>\u2019, and the date has been adhered to ever since. The message gained its \u2018<strong>first adoption\u2019 by South Australia<\/strong>, who used it for their \u2018International Christmas Tree\u2019 in Adelaide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>In 1924, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplescollection.wales\/items\/502490\">third message<\/a> was broadcast for the <strong>first time by radio<\/strong> <strong>on the<\/strong> <strong>BBC World Service &#8211; <\/strong>as well as by Morse Code from Leafield and the Eiffel Tower. This prompted the <strong>first international responses<\/strong>, from Poland\u2019s Minister for Education and the Archbishop of Uppsala in Sweden, who said <em>\u201cSwedish children and parents ardently wish\u2026 a Christian Soul and strong future for abolishing war and deepening peace in men\u2019s minds and in our distressed world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>By 1925, the Children\u2019s Message was <em>\u201cfeaturing in newspapers and magazines of Great Britain, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal and other continent countries\u2026 and leading American newspapers\u201d<\/em>. It is notable that this American coverage would have closely followed the Welsh Women\u2019s Peace Appeal and Tour of America, undoubtedly instrumental in raising awareness of Welsh peace efforts. In 1926, the Message had been integrated into school teaching Wales-wide, with 14 schools from the Caerphilly area being cited for the example of their \u2018Peace Week activities in the 1927 Peace Message booklet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>In 1926, Gwilym Davies made the <strong>first fully programmed broadcast in Welsh <\/strong>over the BBC, speaking about and then reading out the Children\u2019s World Wireless Message, from Cardiff and Daventry Stations. The first \u2018Cablegram\u2019 response, from the Prussian Minister of Education, relayed that the message had been printed in the journal for all schools across Prussia; and the Government of New Zealand proposed a reciprocal correspondence between children of Wales and Aotearoa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>The actual text of the message remained the same until <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplescollection.wales\/items\/502526\"><strong>1929<\/strong> message<\/a>, when the <strong>first divergence<\/strong> \u2013 celebrating the forthcoming&nbsp; 10<sup>th<\/sup> Birthday of the League of Nations \u2013 asked: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cWill you, millions of you, join with us today in thinking with gratitude of those men and women, or every race and people, who are working so hard to build a finer, better world?\u201d<\/em><\/p><cite>Wales Youth Message of Peace &amp; Goodwill, 1929<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>Through the 1930s, the <strong>message started evolving<\/strong>, as the Great Depression tightened its grip. As storm clouds gathered on the horizon leading to WW2, the tone of the message shifted from what might be considered in retrospect a conceptual and idealistic text, to annual messages that reflected the deep concerns of younger people about the world around them, as peace seemingly unravelled and became threatened. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>The message continued through WW2; after WW2, particularly heart-rending replies from the young people of Germany and Japan underlined the ijportance of the message for reconciliation and peace building out of the ashes of war:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It is so long since we heard from the young people of Wales: how it grew dark.

Llangollen went on to develop their own parallel Peace Message during the 1980s, although the divergence was primarily for practical reasons (Wales&#8217; young people that year chose to produce a pop song instead of prose!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>Throughout the 1930s-40s, the WLNU continued to be the main organisational vehicle for organisation of the message, as the <strong>Temple of Peace<\/strong> opened to become its new headquarters \u2013 a moment celebrated by the cover of the 1938 Peace Message. However, after WW2, as WLNU morphed into the new UNA Wales structure, the severely constricted austerity era resources constrained UNA\u2019s ability to service and support the work involved with the message.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>With Gwilym Davies\u2019 passing in 1954, responsibility for the Message passed to Urdd Gobaith Cymru, with the blessing of his widow Mary Gwilym Davies (nee Ellis, who had organised the 1924 American Women\u2019s Peace Tour).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>In the 1970s-80s, with the Urdd facing financial challenges, the <strong>reciprocal element <\/strong>of the Peace Message (facilitating responses form around the world) was organisationally deprioritised and soon disappeared altogether \u2013 indeed, by the time of the Wales for Peace project over 2014-19, this element of the message\u2019s heritage, and its WLNU origins, were a genuinely hidden history that is now being rediscovered and bringing back to life the origins and motiovation behind the message. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>In recent years, as its heritage has been rediscovered, participation in the Peace Message has seen a resurgence.
