Talks for Groups
daytime & evening
Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.
Winston Churchill
Getting a Grip on Memory
An interactive talk about the power of touch in our lives, and how our senses help bring memories to the fore. We tend to think about reminiscing as something older people do, but in fact we do it throughout our lives, at all ages. When we add the chance to touch something that inspires a memory into the mix, reminiscing can be a very powerful and positive experience. This talk will include a range of artefacts to explore, from Box Brownies to Bakelite light switches, and the chance to reminisce.
