'Interesting Times': An Inter-Generational Oral Archive

Posted by on
PGS Archives, Library, the English Department and Portsmouth Point are excited to launch this new inter-generational Oral Archive Project called ‘Interesting Times.’

‘Interesting Times’ is an oral project where pupils in Year 11 and Year 12 are invited to undertake inter-generational interviews, which could include grandparents, great aunts and great uncles or other close family members. 

We are living in ‘Interesting Times’ and the aim is for pupils to learn how previous generations lived through similar experiences. 

Pupils will learn how to conduct a successful interview using resources provided by the school before audio recording their inter-generational interviews.  It would also be useful if the interviewee shared photographs to be used in the final production of the audio recording, which will be launched via the Portsmouth Point YouTube Channel.

With the half term fast-approaching, this would be an excellent project to undertake during the break with family members. Interviews need to take place following current Government guidelines regarding social distancing.

Deadline:

Friday 19th June 2020
