Social history project is online

A project in which local school children will interview older people about their memories is now online.

The site - thetellmeproject.com – has gone live thanks to Manx Telecom, which has agreed to underwrite the hosting costs for three years.

The Age Concern led project aims to create a unique archive of the Island’s social history through interviews with older people.

They will be conducted by schoolchildren in any combination of text, pictures, sound and video.
