Oral History Training – 2 day Course

During this Two Day workshop for staff, volunteers and freelancers, we will build on all five senses (touch, sight, smell, sound and taste) to improve stimulation for engagement with individuals living with dementia.

This course doesn’t include training in audio editing. We can offer this as a separate one day training session, or this can be done independently through the Oral History Society.  Please get in touch for details.

All participants will also undertake at least one full oral history interview during the course.

Coming Soon!
