Mr Stephen Glover ; Head of Modern Languages

We are hoping to develop a Comenius project relating to the Second or First World War to involve the sharing of eyewitness accounts, drama and literature and modern foreign languages. We have already gained some experience of this with our twin town of Vitry sur Seine in France but would like to broaden the scope and edit a joint web site on the subject.

We think that by getting young people to investigate more closely what really happened and asking their elders about their experiences, this will do more to break down barriers between nations. Pupils often tend to look at the wars in very black and white terms almost like the result of a football match. We would hope ultimately for groups from the three/four countries to meet on the scene of a historical event and to share their knowledge in the form of drama, poetry etc. In the meantime a website would be developed using our increasing expertise in this field.

The project aims to raise awareness of european issues within the school and community as a whole. In order to attain this objective we will be concentrating on the following areas of study:
Modern Foreign Languages
History
Sociology
Business Studies
Religious Studies
Psychology.
We intend to use the whole range of traditional and modern communication techniques.
The final result of the project will be

The establishment of a permanent database which facilitates a deeper and more profound cultural understanding.
The production of a multi-media presentation to exchange information between partner schools.
The regualr reporting of results and exchange of news and views through a magazine produced by partner shcools and the use of www. pages.

We are aiming to become the co-ordinating school.
