JISCMail - ARCHIVES-NRA Archives

MLA North West are offering a free half day training course on Reminiscence,
Oral History and Intergenerational learning, to support museum and archives
staff involved in the current phase of the Their Past Your Future programme.
http://www.mla.gov.uk/programmes/their_past_your_future

We would like to broaden this out to allow more museum, library and archive
staff, who would like support in this area, to attend and so have a limited
number of further free places available.

The session will be held on Wed 12 Nov from 12 noon to 4.30pm at a central
Manchester venue tbc. (Light lunch and pre course networking from 12 noon,
with course running from 1.00 to 4.30pm)

The session will consist of a mixture of practical activities and group
discussion which will give participants the opportunity to try out ideas and
techniques; to share their own experiences of doing reminiscence and
intergenerational work; and to discuss the issues that might arise in this
kind of project, and how they would respond to them.

By the end of the session, participants will

* have a grasp of what oral history and reminiscence are, and
how they might fit in to what they want to achieve
* have a toolkit of some effective ideas and techniques they
can use in projects
* be aware of the issues that might arise in this kind of
project, know about some of the different perspectives that oral historians
and reminiscence workers hold on these issues, and have had an opportunity
to think and discuss where they stand on them.

West, who are working in partnership with MLA North West on workforce
development.
