Channel 4 (UK) are producing a new landmark documentary series about the growing number of British families putting day-to-day life on hold to see the world with their children.<\/p>\n
Through the films we hope to highlight just how rewarding, educational and most importantly possible it is to go travelling with the kids.<\/p>\n
Our hope is that the programmes will inspire more parents thinking about this kind of trip to actually take the plunge and get involved around the world. We also want to highlight the positives of this kind of experience has on a family unit and the educational benefit for children. Each family would be left with a unique travel-log of their journey.<\/p>\n
We would not plan to be with the family the entire time but would provide them with a camera to record the events with us dropping in at certain key points along the way.<\/p>\n
We hope to follow five families in the series and whilst we have already started filming with four we are still looking for one more to be involved who could be leaving anytime up to 2010.<\/p>\n
I am trying to cast the net as wide as possible in the search for families and simply want to spread the word so that people can get in touch with me if they are interested.<\/p>\n
It’s like a needle in a haystack trying to find people so any suggestion or help however small would be very gratefully received.<\/p>\n
Kind regards<\/p>\n
