 The Viking Network arose from a vision
of how information technology could be linked with historical studies to
provide not only an educational resource in its own right, but simultaneously
promote communication
and cooperation amongst schools and students of all ages, across national
boundaries. By so doing, it seeks to encourage young people to appreciate
and cherish facets of a shared cultural heritage, to look for similarities
amongst people, to be tolerant of differences, and to generalise these sentiments
to the global context.
The Viking Network offers schools:
 |
| The web also contains a section where schools can
present their own
Viking projects, to be either included in the Viking Network Web
as 'info-sheets', or
linked to schools' own websites through the Viking
Network. |
 |
The Viking Network
organises projects
in which schools everywhere can participate.

 We also offer TEAM,
an e-mail English
advisory service, where teachers of English as a second or foreign language
can obtain advice on everyday usage of English from a 'native' English speaker
and linguistics researcher in the UK.

We are gradually constructing Bibliographies,
of both English;
French and Scandinavian
languages works, factual and fictional, concerning Vikings. These
part-bibliographies may currently be referred to via E-mail
through:barriemr@onet.co.uk
(English) and
<nilssv@viking.no> (Scandinavian)
Eventually we hope to have these directly accessible through our web
site.
