Achieving the App has brought together the expertise of
– the teams of the Historial,
– the engineering pedagogical mediation and multimedia tools of two specialists based in Montreal (Helene Caura http: // lefrenchtoast .wordpress.com
– a Flemish company (www.explio.be) for adapting the audio in four languages

The application invites the child to take the role of a reporter during the Great War and to follow the story and the journey of three soldiers : Jules, the French soldier, Johann, the German soldier and Walter, the British soldier .
