Their Past Your Future is an innovative learning programme that uses historical sources, sites, museums, veterans and eyewitnesses of war to increase young people's understanding and appreciation of history, remembrance and commemoration, national identity and civic participation today.
Their Past Your Future is a UK-wide education project led by a partnership of the Imperial War Museum, Museums, Libraries and Archives England, National Library of Wales, Northern Ireland Museum Council and Scottish Museums Council, supported by the Big Lottery Fund.
