| Inspired by the Views
from Shropshire oral histories, seven groups in Shropshire from different ages
and backgrounds produced art work to help explore ‘identity’,
‘diversity’ and ‘belonging’. These are some of the many underlying
issues and themes raised in the book. |
| From the ages of seven to ninety-two,
people from all backgrounds in both schools and community groups,
have demonstrated the relevance of the Views from Shropshire
oral histories. They have been used to celebrate common values
and experiences, irrespective of culture or backgrounds. |
| The Views from Shropshire oral histories
have since been used in an intergenerational project hosted by
Age Concern, and a Bridges peer-mentoring project, at the Shrewsbury
College of Arts and Technology. There, young people from the
Business and Tourism group delivered educational workshops to
their peers, to help raise awareness about the cultural and ethnic
diversity in Shropshire, and also to challenge discrimination
and prejudice. |
