In April 2016, 'Meeting in No Man's Land' brought together 24 descendents of German and British First World War soldiers, who, for 4 days, shared with each other often painful and moving family histories from the war. These filmed meetings and interviews form the core of this resource for schools and are combined with engaging, creative responses and interpretations of the material from 4 London secondary schools. Both can be used to inspire learning about the First World War.

This page brings together, in one place, all of the resource and archive material associated with the project. It is intended to complement the 4 main learning resources, that can be accessed via the layAR application. (see below)

MAIN RESOURCES

The 4 main learning resources have been created - using layAR augmented reality software - for use with mobile devices. This is a digital resource that can easily and simply be shared by students, teachers and educational institutions - either electronically or physically (via a printed poster or flyer). You will of course require a Wi-fi or data connection for your device.

The layAR app is FREE to download for Android and iOS @ https://get.layar.com


Once you have downloaded the software, click to enlarge the images below. Scan the image with your Smartphone or Tablet to access the digital content. The images can be downloaded and emailed to friends and colleagues or printed-out and pinned to school or classroom notice boards; the software will scan equally well from a screen or a postcard-sized printout.

We have also made the content available to view via a Vimeo channel for group/ classroom teaching:
