    Children will learn about storyboards and researching some digital archive material and finally create their own TikTok video based on their own local history.

    Over the course of this 5-session programme, children will gain an appreciation for oral history as a source, learn digital skills, explore historical imagination, and gain familiarity with the many histories of East London and Essex, of which they themselves are a part, all while having fun and being creative during their summer holidays!
