welcome to the 1968 memories project

meet the locals is teaming up with the friends of victoria baths to set up an exciting reminiscence project focusing on the year 1968.

because of its worldwide significance, the year 1968 offers the ideal opportunity to develop content which will engage the wider community, as well as showing the overlaps between sports, politics, history, arts and culture. in 2008, the memories, information and artefacts collected through the project will be the foundation for a series of commemorative events.

main aims:
- to set up a reminiscence project focusing on the year 1968
- to produce resource packs to be used by schools, local organisations, visitors, etc.
- to organise events (such as reminiscence sessions, displays, discussions and film screenings)
- to establish multi-agency partnerships
- to target new audiences and promote volunteering
- to promote manchester’s multicultural heritage

I think it's been done before, but an exhibition of photos and memories re Where were you in '68? could be posted on the site.
I can confidentally offer a photo because no-one will recognise me - I hope!
