This sort of ties in with recent posts about a music video which incorporated Churchill's words, and the OMG, WWII IS ON FACEBOOK webpage. Perhaps we need some 20-somethings as consultants on the best forms of media with which to connect to a younger generation. I know that my own 20-somethings would be much more likely to watch a Churchill speech on YouTube than to read that speech. Maybe the Churchill Centre could set up a Twitter account for "Winston Churchill" and send out tweets with his actual words?
I'm not trying to trivialize this discussion, or reaching the next generation, but it's kind of like that old joke about the mule and the 2 by 4. You have to get their attention first, in whatever form that is, before you can teach them about Churchill.

I would like to ask what the Churchill Centre is doing to encourage the growth of both knowledge and membership for the next generation so that we can ensure that the lessons of Winston Churchill are not forgotten? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
