Leith Stories Collaborative Workshops
25/06/2022 (Saturday) from 11:45 AM to 2:00 PM
This session will be video recorded and you have a chance to become famous !!
Join Leith for Ever at one of our workshops and share your memories of Leith as it has
been in your lifetime, and as it is now.
We’re looking for volunteers to tell us their Leith story and help us create a living memory archive of recorded experiences - the good, the bad, the ugly and the
beautiful, that can be shared and built upon over time.
These collected stories will be recorded and shared as audio clips along with a photograph of you on our website or other digital media. We aim to make this archive something anyone can add their story to over time so that it becomes a growing, accessible documentation of experiences of the people living, working or otherwise visiting or spending time in Leith.
How does it work? How do I participate?
To take part, first book your place in the workshop We ask our volunteers to think about and bring along, an object or image that connects you to Leith to use as a prompt during the workshop. We will also
provide a box of prompt objects if you aren’t able to bring one, so don’t worry if you can’t think of one!

On the day, please arrive at the venue 10-15 minutes early so we can get you signed in, and consent forms filled out before we start.
Once everyone is signed in we will go through some warm-up exercises as a group and explain how the recording will work.
Then we will ask each participant to share the object they have brought, and chat about what memories or experiences these bring up in conversation. It will be very informal and friendly. During this conversation, we will record the different stories being shared. These recordings will become the final, edited, audio recordings for our memory archive.
Following the discussion, each participant will have their photograph taken with their object. This image will be shown on our website or other digital media, alongside the
final edited audio clips and you will be sent a printed copy following the workshops.
We will provide refreshments on the day.
