WORKSHOP PROGRAMME
Happening Histories is a community project to make a cd-rom about our area. It will be an interactive documentary that will merge the past, present and possible futures of the Grosvenor Estate using sounds, images and written words, all contributed by the local community.
All local people are invited to take part by coming to the workshops or contacting us directly. If you need help in participating please contact us.

Workshops
>From June to August there will
be a series of free workshops on the Grosvenor
Estate for you to contribute to the Happening Histories CD-ROM.
At the workshops you can make
images and sound recordings about your impressions of where you live. You can
also bring photographs and record your memories of the area in sound or written
word.
You will have the opportunity
to use computers, scanners (for capturing images onto the computer) and record
sounds, as well as do photography, collage, printing and drawing.
Your
Contributions will be brought together as a CD-ROM which when finished will
be available free to participants and at a low cost to others. It will also
be widely accessible through Southwark's libraries, museums, schools and colleges.
Or you may prefer to take part by sharing your memories, photographs, thoughts and feelings about the area by contacting us directly.
