How war should be remembered is the subject of a public forum at the University of Otago the day before Anzac Day, next week.

Topics including whether ''peaceful futures should play a greater role in war remembrance'', will be considered. The forum, is being organised by the National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, on Wednesday evening, organisers said.

Prof David McBride, of the Otago preventive and social medicine department, and Otago historian Dr George Davis will join Prof Kevin Clements and Prof Richard Jackson, both of the centre, for the discussion.
