This week saw the @UCL_FWWCBTP programme draw to a close. Here's a look at what these educators achieved, bringing the historical significance of the First World War to teachers and to a new generation of young people.

@UCL_FWWCBTP is no more, but what a project! Their work commemorating The First World War impacted so many & will continue to do so for years. Thanks for the opportunity to learn, improve our lessons and trips, meet like minded educators and for sharing your expertise.
