 Great opportunity for neurodiverse young people
 A set of cassettes tapes from the 1980s which haven’t been accessible for many years have just been digitised as part of the Sounds of the South West project.
 Be the first to find out the content in these oral histories, become skilled in the technical aspects of working with audio material, get creative using the contents as a starting point, with the chance to be mentored by experienced practitioners who will support you every step of the way.
 You’ll be able to create something special to share with others, learn new skills, have fun, and maybe make some new friends. Come and enjoy spending time in a calm, accepting and welcoming environment.
Join the sessions in person or online if you’d prefer.
The project will run every Thursday from 10.15am-3pm from 20th March to 22nd May. We can pay the cost of your travel to and from the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre too.
