All Our Stories: Next Steps Workshop report

All Our Stories: Next Steps Workshop report

On 14 November 2012 we held a ‘Next Steps’ workshop which was attended by 14 community heritage groups from across the East Midlands that had just been awarded grants by the Heritage Lottery Fund under its All Our Stories programme. The projects that came to the workshop ranged from village histories to investigations of the industrial heritage of the region, and archaeological investigations to recording stories about military requisitioning of a country estate.

During the workshop the groups heard about the support the University is hoping to provide to help them deliver their projects and they also had plenty of time to learn about each others’ projects and start to share experiences.

Project posters

 
 

 

 

 

Each group had sent in text and photos that were made into posters by the Digital Humanities Centre and put on display during lunch. After the workshop the groups were sent digital versions of their posters, and some of them are adapting these for use as flyers and in newsletters to publicise their projects locally
