Educative movie-project to excite the youth for a trip to the places of WWI

Educative Movie-Project The goal of the application is to provide teachers and students - by means of a preparation in the classroom - an overview of the places of World War I that are worth visiting in the 'Westhoek' and making them enthusiastic to plan a trip. As part of the commemoration about World War I in the 'Westhoek', the young people can make a film project themselves and need to make certain critical and creative choices. They use the methodology 'digital storytelling'. By doing so, they learn how to analyze historical photographs, write a script, make a film with accompanying music. It's important how they tell their story and from what position they do. This sharpens their historical sense, but these cross-curricular approach can also be a stimulus to organize a school project focused on WWI. This application primarily focuses on students in the second and third grade of secondary education.
