Virtual Finding The Storieskeeping The Memorie S

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. This five-week workshop is designed to help participants capture their memories for generations to come. This is not a journaling class! Instead, this fun and interactive workshop will help you experiment with a variety of methods to identify, save, and share the memories that are important to you. Your experiences and your stories matter! Don't let them be lost!
