The team behind the Guernsey’s proposed Victor Hugo Centre has launched a new website.
The website will provide a digital platform for the vision and plans for the Centre, helping the project to gain local and international exposure.
The Victor Hugo Centre will be an exciting, interactive and immersive celebration of global icon Victor Hugo and the unique inspiration he found in Guernsey. It will be a place for visitors to learn about his legacy of poetry, literature and visionary humanitarian principles.
The website will become a focal point for the project, with information about the design for the centre, the team behind the initiative, answers to frequently asked questions, fundraising activities and project updates.
Crucially, the site will also connect people and organisations who would like to get involved and support the project.
The site will highlight the three integrated parts of the Centre: a museum/interpretation centre, a learning hub for school children and students, and a performance and event space.
Larry Malcic, Chair of the Victor Hugo Centre board, said: “We hope the website will inspire the local and international community to learn about and share our vision for the Centre, and to appreciate the educational, cultural, social and tourism benefits the Centre will bring. We want to tell the story of the bond between Hugo and our island, sharing it with people from around the world. A digital presence is an essential step towards that goal.
“This is very much a community-based project and we want the website to help more people learn about our aims and how to become involved.
“The website will keep everyone up to date on the progress of the project and will evolve as we move through the fundraising and planning phases of the initiative. It’s an exciting next stage for the Centre.”
The website was designed and built by TPA, with copywriting assistance by Black Vanilla.
