Remembrance Day/Poppy Day

November is the time of the year when Britain wears a red poppy in memory of those who sacrificed their lives for them during wars.

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the Armistice, on 11th November 1918, to signal the end of World War One.

At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare.

Remembrance Day is on 11 November. It is a special day set aside to remember all those men and women who were killed during the two World Wars and other conflicts. At one time the day was known as Armistice Day and was renamed Remembrance Day after the Second World War.

Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is usually the Sunday nearest to 11 November. Special services are held at war memorials and churches all over Britain.

Remembrance Day is also known as Poppy Day, because it is traditional to wear an artificial poppy. They are sold by the Royal British Legion, a charity dedicated to helping war veterans.

A poem called 'For the Fallen' is often read aloud during the ceremony; the most famous stanza of which reads:

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Fourth stanza of 'For the Fallen' by Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943)

Why is the poppy a symbol of remembrance?

Sobre o concurso

O Grande © é um projecto promovido pela AGECOP – Associação para a Gestão da Cópia Privada, dirigido às escolas do Ensino Secundário e 3º Ciclo. Este projecto tem como principal objectivo a educação, sensibilização e literacia do público mais jovem no que respeita ao Direito de Autor e aos Direitos Conexos. Pretende mobilizar os jovens através das suas escolas em torno de um tema que lhes diz directamente respeito – a protecção da propriedade intelectual – promovendo mudanças de comportamento no que se refere a esta temática.
A abordagem destes temas é feita através de um concurso de criatividade, que lança aos jovens o desafio de criarem uma obra. Pretende incutir o valor da criatividade e da obra original, que é a base e o fundamento do Direito de Autor e dos Direitos Conexos.
Os jovens criadores terão assim oportunidade de desenvolver obras originais (inéditas), individualmente ou em grupo (podendo contar com a participação de um ou mais professores) em diferentes áreas de criação, tendo por base a importância do Direito de Autor e dos Direitos Conexos.
