Discover Women’s History in Dennistoun, Friday 9th June for 10 weeks to 11th August, 9.30am to 11.30am, Culloden Street Hall, 1 Culloden Street, Dennistoun, Free, Women only
This week we will be doing Introductory Oral History training. This easy going session will introduce you to how to interview people about their personal history and life experience. Included is how to get started, what questions to ask, how to put people at ease, how to record your interviews and what equipment to use. There will be a chance to ask questions, practise a few interviews and try out some recording equipment.
In this exciting new project, we’ll discover the hidden stories of local women and then help to develop a new women’s heritage trail and booklet. We’ll also be taking field trips and sharing our own memories.
You don’t need any previous experience of heritage work – we will include training and support. This project is a chance to make new friends, develop new skills and share your stories of women in Dennistoun.
“I really enjoyed…meeting new like-minded people and making new friendships, sparking memories of good times, the opportunity to share … and gaining …an appreciation of how things were for female family members and other women” East Dunbartonshire women’s heritage project participant
