Education

For classrooms and community screenings

The documentary is being made so that it can be taught. Every edition is cut from the same verified material, with the same labelling discipline.

Resources in development

Source pack

Facsimile documents, photographs and newspaper extracts with provenance notes, so pupils can practise weighing evidence rather than accepting a narrative.

Oral history toolkit

Interview question sets, consent forms written in plain English, recording guidance and a template for depositing recordings with a local archive.

Teacher notes

Curriculum links for post-war migration, the British economy after the mills, citizenship and local history, with suggested discussion prompts.

Community screening pack

A short cut for mosque, school and community centre screenings, with a facilitator guide and a feedback route back into the research.

Working with a school or college?

We are looking for schools in Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Yorkshire and the Midlands to test the classroom edition and the oral history toolkit with pupils.
