HAVE you ever wondered what the world we live in will look like in a 100 years’ time? St Helens’ Library Service is inviting the public to take part in a free virtual workshop to feed ideas into a project and imagine - without limits - what a St Helens of the future might be. As part of a digital development strand of work, in partnership with Ideas Alliance, St Helens Library Service is working with composers Leo & Hyde, and virtual-reality artist Rosie Summers, to deliver Solarpunk St Helens – inspired by an art movement which envisions how the future might look if humanity succeeded in solving major contemporary challenges, with an emphasis on sustainability problems such as climate change and pollution.
THIS is how St Helens will remember victims of mass genocide next week for Holocaust Memorial Day. Held every year on January 27, Holocaust Memorial Day falls on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp where more than a million people died during the second world war. In total, six million Jewish men, women and children were murdered in the Holocaust – while millions of others were killed in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur. Holocaust Memorial Day is one of the most important occasions on St Helens Borough Council’s events calendar which would usually see a commemoration ceremony held in St Helens Town Hall, attended by schools and key dignitaries.
