Education

Legasee provide students and teachers with unique access to interviews with military personnel who have served their country at some point between 1939 and the present day. The video content is designed for use by students aged 5+ to complement learning in social and political history, citizenship and Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

“I think showing children how Journalism and writing is relevant to their lives by bringing someone who has a truly amazing story to share is an amazing idea for a project.”

Andreana Lefton, Journalist and writer.

Additionally we can organise [fully funded] educational projects where our veterans will visit your school or college to talk about their experiences. We supply professional facilitators from relevant industries who will help your pupils get the most from the day. Contact us if you would like to know
what we can do for your school.

Case study: Operation Freedom, A Veteran’s Story

Legasee and the Eastside Educational Trust created a stimulating History Project with the Harbinger Primary School based in East London. In addition to supplying a full size replica Spitfire and a veteran Spitfire pilot, a professional journalist helped the children develop insightful questions to ensure they took ownership of the Q+A session.

Veterans are the lifeblood of our organisation. Individually they can share incredible stories of bravery, sacrifice and suffering. Collectively they are a priceless record of 20th Century military history.

Do you know a veteran who might want to share their memories of war or conflict? We'd like to hear about them.
