12 Communities 1 Bristol – A Local Heritage Project

We need volunteers to help produce audio content on the oral history of 12 different Bristol neighbourhoods for local radio and podcasts.

REQUIREMENTS
No experience required, but must be available on Saturday 30 November. This project is OPEN TO ALL SECTIONS OF OUR COMMUNITIES and it’s desirable, but not essential, if you live in or near one of the following 12 areas:
– AVONMOUTH

– EASTON

– KNOWLE WEST

– EASTVILLE

– ST GEORGE

– HILLFIELDS

– SOUTHMEAD

MORE DETAILS
These communities are the least satisfied with Bristol’s offering of heritage and museums, and some of the most overlooked areas in the city. So we thought let’s try something different!

The cultural traditions, histories of places and events, language and dialect, memories and experiences, industry and natural heritage of each community will be covered, including those hidden and little known stories.

HOW TO APPLY

Simply make a 60 second audio recording OR write in no more than 200 words telling us why you like to join the project. You can record this any way you like (smartphone is fine).
 

Then email your audio piece or words to marcus.smith@bcfm.org.uk by Friday 8 November 2019 along with your name and phone number.

This project is led by Bristol Community 93.2FM in partnership with UWE Bristol, Bristol Museums and funded by Heritage Lottery Fund.
