Telling Your Family’s Story, Past and Present (Zoom)

Spring (14 hrs or more) | Available (Membership Required)

Craft a compelling narrative that brings your family’s story to life. This course will show you how to research your family’s past, interview relatives, and gather photos and videos to enrich your story. Each week, participants will share their work in progress and receive constructive feedback from the instructor and class.

By the end of the course, hopefully you will have created a well-crafted and compelling story—in any format that suits you—to preserve and share cherished memories of your family for generations to come.

 

This course will combine lecture with class discussion.
