Welcome to the home of the Write Path, an ongoing project which was started in 2008 and hopes to encourage schools to share activities across the globe. Our first event was a collaborative story writing project on October 6th 2008 which included pupils from 15 global schools and five established childrens authors working together to complete 5 very diverse stories. You can find more out on the website from that year.

Last years event involved roughly 64 schools and the event took place over the course of 2 weeks. It was amazingly good fun! The Voicethread below will tell you all about it:

All of these authors/poets took part last year either by writing the first paragraph of a story or by writing the 1st stanza of a poem - we thank you all!

Students in schools all over the world then worked on the stories (6 a day for one hour each school) and at the end of the week they were all published in three wonderful books by Little Books. Many schools also enjoyed video calls at changeover and regular tweet updates went out on twitter.

This years event looks to be even bigger and better - can't wait!!
