Dorset Young Remembers is a unique project. We are twenty young volunteers helping Dorset youth clubs discover their 70 year old history. It goes from tents to twitter and from hiking to hot pants. We are using games, oral history recordings, Geocaching and an exhibition at Dorset County Museum in 2012 to make this story come alive.

October and November - Dorset County Museum training
We are the only ones in the museum for our sessions on a Tuesday 4.30 to 6.30 and it is great. An exercise we did in the training led us through some surprising discoveries by looking at old pictures of child criminals. Pippa Brindly and Jackie from the education department are helping us devise a workshop to inspire youth clubs to investigate the history of their clubs and get their heads around time lines and where they stand in history. It was hard work but think we think we have got two activities hammered out and the outline for the youth club workshops, It was good to get input from people in the group who volunteer in youth clubs. We think they will inspire the clubs to get involved but we are ready to adapt it if we need to.
