Pupils from the district were yesterday sharing their enthusiasm for the Saltaire world heritage site at a UNESCO Youth Summit.
Five Year 9 students from Titus Salt School, Baildon, are among teenagers from 20 of the country’s world heritage sites taking part in the event in Greenwich.
They will give digital presentations on their sites as well as make short films on the importance of world heritage in the 21st century.
The films will be screened at the Discover Greenwich Visitor Centre during the Olympic Games.
History teacher Rebecca Miller said: “Everyone put a great deal of effort into the digital scrapbook, staying behind after school every week to ensure that it was the very best it could be. They should feel very proud of their achievement.”
Jo Hall, chairman of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site Learning Group, said: “This is a once in a lifetime experience for young people from across the UK.”
