The partnership
with Nancy Walker (nee Douglas), the Arts Services Cultural
Co-ordinator have been working with Lisamaria Marzella (Acting
Head Teacher) and Ruth Howard (School Secretary) to develop
a three month combined heritage and creative project at the
Holy Family Primary School in Winchburgh.
The project
will teach the children how to undertake oral history interviews,
how to look for information within the interview and to understand
how these interviews can add to their knowledge of local history.
Nancy Walker has invited Gillian Bowman to work with the children
and to work with the historical information to create poetry
and song which will allow the children to celebrate the unique
social and industrial heritage of Winchburgh.

Villages project has developed a strong working partnership
with Nancy Douglas, the Arts Services Cultural Coordinator,
to develop an exciting project which will be based within
a West Lothian Primary School. The project will combine oral
history, local history research and folk-song and poetry which
will fully embrace a more creative approach to celebrating
the local shale heritage.
