The new version of the site will be available on line by the end of this month at the latest. From this date on, the teachers having taken part into the project will have to evaluate it. As for the steering committee, you are requested to have a look at it on the site, in order to prepare some possible comments to improve its content and presentation.

Obviously, you can still send us new contributions; especially as regards AXIS 3 and 4 (contemporary documents, memory sites, museums…) and the resources part (bibliography, Internet sites, filmography…). These contributions will be taken into account in the training module. In this case, you will have to precise where to place them by using the grid that was adopted in VIENNA. Our site needs to be enriched.

We enter now the 4th stage of the project: MARCH 2009 to AUGUST 2009.The module adaptation and finalizing based on the results of the experimentation. The product finalization on different media: Internet website and DVD.
As you have probably noticed, our work has fallen behind schedule, and during MARCH and APRIL 2009, the training module has to be experimented and evaluated by target groups such as schools and teachers, so as to finalize it by MAY and JUNE 2009.

Our last steering committee that will be held in Peronne (France) at the “Historial de la Grande Guerre”, September 18th/19th 2009 will consist in presenting the achieved module and a last finalizing of the financial aspects concerning the final report that will have to be sent to the Commission by September 30th.
