That's great information about what you're doing but I was hoping to know a bit more about what the Churchill Centre is specifically doing to encourage the next generation. While I see the value in seminars, etc. in my experience young people interested in Churchill and history are only so because of the information their relations give them, or they are interested because a teacher has been afforded the time to explore Churchill as a character, and they are interested in the subject themselves.
Please allow me to proffer a scenario and question. A member of the younger generation who cares about the memory of Winston Churchill, sees the full value in the life lessons he taught and recognises the importance of history, seeks the support of an organisation that works hard to promote the life of Sir Winston Churchill, in the hope that together they can appeal to the younger generation and continue the important and great work that has been started. However, when attempting to make that connection, the younger member, who is also working extremely hard to promote the morals, values and life lessons of Sir Winston Churchill, specifically to the younger generation, is met with stonewalled rudeness by a member of the older and more seasoned organisation. How do you think the younger member feels to realise that instead of being able to work with an organisation to enrich it and add to it, they are rejected by it? How would you, as President of the Churchill Centre, react to a situation such as I have mentioned?
