Description: | Generations 08 was a family learning activity organised as part of Black History month, October 2008. It was set up by the Adult Community Learning team, part of Dudley MBC. The venue for the event was the Savoy Centre, Northfield Rd, Netherton. The aim of the two day programme of activities was to engage various generations of the local community and get them working together to learn about their different cultural experiences, exploring West Indian countries and their cultures. To achieve this, the two days were made up of a mixture of activities such as web based internet research, hands on practical activities such as interviewing older generations, and t-shirt making. The event was called 'Generations 08'. The youngest child was aged 6 and the oldest participant was aged 68. The event included a visit to Dudley Archives and Local History Service for a tour and a chance to see some documents about black history. 22 children and adults visited the archive on 30th October 2008. The group created a booklet of work about Jamaica, and each participant created their own t-shirt. This large booklet, and an example t-shirt were deposited at Dudley Archives by the group as a contribution to Dudley Borough's black history. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Dudley Archives | Rights holder: | Dudley Archives | Subjects: | Black people | Temporal: | October 2008 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
