Here are copies of articles from the local newspaper about our school trip to the Somme and especially relevant places for New Zealand.
One article from the "Courrier picard" and a similar one from the "New Zealand Herald / Stratford Press".
It shows how important it is for the French and New Zealand local communities even if we are so distant !
Voici des extraits d'articles de la presse locale à propos de notre sortie dans la Somme, tout spécialement sur les lieux de mémoire...
Alors il n’y a que 22 jours jusqu’à notre départ en France!
Le jeudi, j’ai passé le jour à Wellington avec les autres ambassadeurs. C’était super de rencontrer tout le monde, finalement ! Je sais que nous nous amuserons bien ensemble en France.
En visitant Wellington, nous sommes allés à la Galerie des Portraits et Te Papa. Ils étaient très intéressants. I was particularly interested in ‘The Berry Boys’ exhibit, as seeing the 30 portraits of unknown Kiwi faces of World War One was a true...

The photos (above) are from his visit. Mr Coutts also looked at many places for us to visit next year when we will travel to France. We hope some of the students at Gay Lussac will...
Bonjour,
Je vais évaluer deux clips vidéo qui montrent de façon saisissante le changement dans les attitudes envers la Première Guerre mondiale à travers l'ouverture des archives et le développement de la technologie.

Hello again!
Its been a whole month already. I have unfortunately been snowed under with school work and as much as I hate to admit it, Young Ambassadors has taken a bit of a backseat! I will make sure that this won’t happen too often and that I keep chipping away at my project.
Over the past week I have been getting in contact with local papers to promote the sharedhistories site and Young Ambassadors trip. I am hoping that they will get back in contact with me soon so I can share what we...
