To mark the centenary of the end of WWI and the German Remembrance Day 2018, the German Embassy Dublin are organizing a high-level seminar on Saturday, 17 Nov 2018 in Dublin, and a commemoration event on Sunday 18 Nov in Glencree. Follow the link to download the programs and to register for one or both events.

The goal of this high-level conference is to put the commemorations of the end of World War I into the current political context. We aim to discuss how difficult the path towards peace and reconciliation in Europe has been and what we may have learned with a view on current challenges facing the European Union.

The conference is supported by the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin and several partners, amongst them the Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation, the Centre for War Studies of the UCD, the Lutheran Church of Ireland and the Goethe Institute.


We will have speakers from science, politics and civil society; two keynote speakers being Dr. Wieland-Karimi, Director of the Center for International Peace Operations in Berlin, and Noelle O Connell, Managing Director of the European Movement Ireland.
