LB Women's Free History Course OCN II 7-9pm FREE ACCREDITED COURSE From 13 Sept, runs for 12 weeks on Tuesday evenings 7pm-9pm Participants will choose an area of history to explore (women of Belfast, lesbian and bisexual women in Ireland, ANY OTHER PART OF HISTORY you want) and research and will be facilitated by UPC staff in collecting, collating and presenting their research in the form of either an exhibition or book. These courses, delivered in collaboration with the SS Nomadic Trust, place an emphasis on communities of interest and exploring the social, economic and labour history of greater Belfast and beyond. Participants will learn how to study old photographs and newspapers, how to interview people and collect their stories and how to use other resources to find out about the past. Participants will learn how to present the information of the history of their choice in exhibition or book form. This exhibition or book can then be launched locally before being displayed in the Peoples Museum space when it is open to the public. The course also allows participants reflect on their findings about the past and use this in future plans for their community. This course is 24 hours and delivered over a number of sessions organised to suit the group. The book course requires a number of follow on editing sessions. This course is accredited at OCN Level 2. Spaces are given out on a first come first serve basis. Contact LASI on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 02890 249452
