The 5 day Life History and Family History course has just finished on Sunday 13th July. This was the first ever 5 day course on a Ruskin Summer School. Course Tutors Dr Hilda Kean and Dr Jo Stanley wondered if the course would be too long but as one student said, ‘The only problem was fitting such a large and diverse subject into the time available even with 5 days!’
All students went away with different ideas for presenting their family or life stories. All students said their expectations were met and nearly 79% said that they were exceeded. As one student explained, ‘My expectations have been surpassed. The knowledge and skills passed on by the 2 tutors and the contributions by my fellow students will enable me to start writing with enthusiasm and confidence.’
More long courses are already on offer this summer and more are in the pipeline for the future.
