An Introduction to Coasts in Mind (online talk)

Wednesday 3rd September, 7pm

Online

Join Hazel and Oliver from the Poole team for a FREE introductory talk to the Coasts in Mind project.

Our changing coastlines reflect our changing lives. Over the last 100 years Poole Harbour has undergone huge shifts in its industry, economy and ecology, all combining to influence and shape the communities that live on its shores. Coasts in Mind is a new project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund that is mapping these changes, using the memories, archives, stories, and experiences of the people who live in and around the Harbour area.

Join us online from the comfort of your own home to learn about this community heritage project, how you can get involved, and to meet the team. Register for your free ticket to receive the joining link.

Later in the month on Tuesday 23rd September, we'll be officially launching the Coasts in Mind community archive! Sign up for the free guided demonstration on the 24th Sept to understand how your memories will be recorded with real examples of stories from people in Poole. If you would like to help us to preserve the heritage of Poole, then this event is also for you.
