How can I book for 19 November 2008?

To book your school or college onto the workshop, teachers will be required to sign up to two dates prior to the workshop. Firstly, to arrange a time for Fay to visit your school or college to give a 30 minute briefing to your students on either Monday 13 October, Tuesday 14 October or Wednesday 15 October 2008. Secondly, for teachers to attend a preliminary visit to Reuters on Thursday 6 November 2008, where you will meet Reuters staff and our speakers.

The visit will also include a look at the auditorium, where the seminar will take place, as well as a visit to the Reuters editorial newsroom, the largest in Europe. Regrettably, teachers
