We were delighted to be invited by Alexandra Park & Palace Learning and Participation Team who run different projects, inspired by the Park and Palace’s history, with the local community to take part in their latest project “TV memories: It’s your Story” with Year 8 students from Duke Aldridge Academy.

The students visited on the 17th & 18th October to meet our residents and share first memories of TV. The students recorded the interactions and we took photos to be used to put together a creative response.

The students worked alongside a film maker to create a short film, using photos and voice recordings interwoven with footage from the BBC corresponding with the memories shared.

On the 8th November, our residents travelled to Alexandra Palace to enjoy a sharing event where they watched the film that was made with the students. Our residents and the students then split into groups and put together a collage depicting their feelings about the project.

Everyone involved really enjoyed the project and we are looking forward to receiving a copy of the film so that we can show it in the home.
