Lives is a unique organisation, formed in 2000, specifically for running
projects like the Billesley AGElink project on which this book is based.
We provided the necessary links and skills to run a successful collaborative
project, involving groups as diverse as care homes, local history groups,
libraries and schools.
For the Billesley AGElink project, Billesley Primary School recorded the
lives of older people living in their community using art and craftwork,
cooking, drama, singing, voice recordings, video, photography, story writing
and story telling.
In this book the children discover the answers to many questions, including:
what is a mangle? How exactly do you play whip and top? When were there
back-to-back houses in Birmingham? Where is it best to go during an air
raid? |
