The guide provides dozens of ideas for enriching the experience for the children. You will find the most famous WWI memorials on the Western Front in Flanders listed in these pages but also many other locations in Flanders Fields and the wider area that tell the story of occupied Belgium. In other words, besides the ones we have all heard of, there are many smaller sites worthy of a visit. Moreover, this guide covers tips for visiting a memorial, teaching resources for preparing a trip, interesting websites, accommodation, alternative transport, how to organise a multi-day trip, and information on the cultural programme GoneWest, including the unique sculpture project ‘ComingWorldRememberMe’. We profoundly hope this information will inspire and help you to schedule trips to Flanders Fields with your school groups. They are most welcome – we consider it our duty to pass on the legacy of WWI by offering them a quality educational and visitor experience. 5 - Geert Bourgeois Minister-President of Flanders Flemish Minister for Foreign Policy and Immovable Heritage Myriam Vanlerberghe Commissioner for Culture, Province of West Flanders Explore with your class WWI PRACTICAL INFORMATION TABLE OF CONTENTS This guide provides you with an overview of the educational facilities for each 9 Introduction site.
