Hidden Histories Toolkit
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Over 2015-20, Wales for Peace supported many volunteers, schools and community groups exploring hidden histories of peacemakers from the last 100 years, and sharing their stories publicly as part of Wales’ overall ‘peace heritage’ story. This ‘Hidden Histories Toolkit’ was put together to guide volunteers through the process of researching and creating their own projects and communication products, using links to online references and resources to make it as easy as possible, and to develop fun and transferable skills along the way.
