YOUTH CLASSES CLASSES FOR ADULTS
Classes for Adults virtual FINDING THE STORIES – KEEPING THE MEMORIES This is a six-week workshop designed to help participants capture their own memories for generations to come. This is not a traditional writing class! Instead, this fun and interactive workshop will help you experiment with a variety of easy methods to identify, save, and share the memories that are important to you – maybe a story about your favorite toy, places you traveled, or how you felt when Dr. Martin Luther King was shot. You may have thought about documenting your own experiences but wondered how to start – and how to find the time! Your experiences and your stories matter! Don’t let them be lost! From the Internet, space travel and TV to our first black President, marriage equality and a pandemic, our world has undergone tremendous change – and YOU have lived through it. Individual memories and stories help future generations understand the past in a way history books never could. You may have thought about documenting your own experiences but wondered how to start – and how to find the time!
