What Now?: A Hundred Years After World War I
UP Center for International Studies Commemorative Activities
on the Centennial of the End of World War 1 (November 8-9, 2018)

November 11, 2018 marks the hundred years since the start of the Armistice that silenced the guns during World War I. When the “Great War” ended, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year, the world was never to be the same again.

In cooperation with the UP Film Institute, the Department of European Languages of UP College of Arts and Letters, and the French Embassy, the UP Center for the International Studies will hold “What Now: A Hundred Years After the World War I”, a series of activities commemorating the end of the World War I aimed at making students aware of that first worldwide conflagration and reflect on what humanity has learned and achieved since that conflict.
