Oral History Training Success

Oral History training event participants

The Movies and Memories Project has now completed its set of Oral History training days across the West Sussex coast. Training days were held in Brighton, Shoreham, Worthing, and Bognor Regis and all were well attended by enthusiastic  participants.

Our final session was in Bognor Regis where potential volunteers met up at the Regis Centre to take part in training in oral history recording, theory and practice. It was a great day and the volunteers had much to contribute to the session and to the project as a whole.

To date we have recruited over 50 volunteers to the project, coming from a variety of backgrounds, including retired Social Workers, Students, Journalists, Film-makers, Counsellors, Home-makers, Local Historians and Librarians, to name but a few.

All are now ready to go out into the region to listen to and record people’s memories of the local area.

If you would like to share your memories and stories of Bognor, Littlehampton, Worthing, or Shoreham in the past, please contact us and we will make arrangements for an interview to take place.

Even if you haven’t been in the area very long, we would still be happy to record your memories – just get in touch.

Everyone has a story to tell…..
