Do you want to write the story of your life for future generations to read? We may think our lives are ordinary, but for our children, their children and their children’s children, reading what life was like for their parent and grandparents is a fascinating slice of family history.
Life without television – what did you do? No mobile phones – are you kidding? Give them an insight into what life was like a generation (or two) ago through your stories of childhood and school life, bringing up your family, employment, and living in a time of huge technological change. Introduce them to you as a child and young adult so they can see how you grew into the adult you are today. Record your times of joy, your challenges, achievements and, if you want to, the times of sorrow and hardship.
This course will help you find your voice, create a timeline, and show you how to organise your memories and stories into something your family will want to read. You can organise your text on a computer, but a notebook or folder with dividers is also recommended to jot down ideas, stories and memories.
