Help Students to Learn about 9/11 and win a trip to New York!

Posted: 22 Apr 2012 02:00 AM PDT

The 9/11 London Project is a new UK educational charity that has been set up to mark the tenth anniversary and to ensure that the legacy of 9/11 is one that builds hope from tragedy. The charity have developed a new education site which has resources and information, covering Literacy, History, Citizenship, RE, Drama, Art and Design. There is also a useful image and film bank which can be used in the classroom to support learning, as well as an interactive timeline.

The project is also offering students the chance to win a trip to New York this September (8-12th), which will include a visit to the 9/11 Memorial. The winner in each category and the two runners-up will all win a trip to New York for the 11th anniversary. In addition each of the two category winners will receive £1000, plus an additional £1000 for the two winners' schools.

All students have to do is explain how they think 9/11 changed the world. Original, creative and thoughtful pieces of work are requested from students between the ages of 14 and 16 from now until 1st June 2012. Visit the site to find out more.
