About

This site is for everyone involved in the Creative Partnerships White City Story Archives project, Spring 2008. The aim of this project is to create a toolkit and inspiration for three primary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham to develop creative research skills, stimulated initially by the history of the White City exhibition and the Olympics in 1908. Teams of young researchers will work with three artists to develop skills in exploring their local history, bringing history to life and communicating to others, and inspiring other people to do research. The project also aims to involve parents and the wider community in adding to the story archive. The story archives will be designed by the children, as exciting structures that can be folded out or stored away when needed. These archive structures can grow and grow as more questions are explored and more stories discovered.

The project is facilitated by Bridget McKenzie, director of Flow Associates. If you want to talk to Bridget about the project, email bridget.mckenzie@flowassociates.com or telephone 0208 691 6803
