Elizabeth Janis - finding a bomb during wartime

Summary

Hear and Now is bringing young and old people together to find, explore and broadcast oral histories at events, festivals, heritage sites, libraries, schools, care homes and community centres in a wide variety of ways.

All stories are being uploaded on our soundcloud page link: soundcloud.com/soundcommunities-cic/sets/hear-and-now

 

Listening pods will be set up in the three main libraries across Torbay at the end of the project.

 

 

Aims

The key aims for Hear & Now are to:

• Connect generations and increase understanding between young and old
• Help all generations to learn and celebrate local heritage through oral history
• Enable older people in Torbay to learn to use digital technology to connect with peers and family
