Shared Histories offers a framework for schools in New Zealand, Australia and France, including New Caledonia, to form partnerships and work on collaborative projects on the theme of WW1.
This website enables you to:
- create a profile for your school [as a School Project Leader]
- and list your school profile on the school seeking partners list
Then you can:
- create a partnership with a school of your choice
- and work together to submit a collaborative project
Create a Partnership
To search for a partner school, first create a profile with Shared Histories.
You will need to log in to access the detailed database of schools seeking partners. When you have identified a school you would like to work with, you can send them a partnership request.
If you already have an existing partner, you and your partner still need to create a school profile, create a partnership on the website so that you can submit your project to be registered.
What is a Shared Histories Project
Any school in the participating countries can at any time of the year join Shared Histories throughout the period of the Centenary commemoration (2014-2018). You can find out more about the format of a Shared Histories Project, about the project eligibility criteria and timeframe at these links:
Submit a project
You can only submit a project for registration once you and your partner have agreed on all the activities you are planning to do.
Registering your collaborative project has many advantages:
- Be part of an international network of schools involved in WW1 commemoration.
- Use the website blogs to communicate about your project and display your team’s productions.
- Access and share resources on WW1.
- After you have completed this process, you will receive an e-mail confirming that your project has been successfully registered with Shared Histories. Your project will be displayed on the website and you and your partner will be able to use blogging space.
Funding Opportunities
Selected projects fitting the criteria of the call for projects may be considered for funding under the Shared Histories programme.
