How to Capture Your Family Story
4 Thursdays at 7 p.m. ET
Sept. 4 - 25
Wouldn't it feel good to capture your family history in a way that will allow future generations to enjoy stories from their past?
In this four-week course from My Jewish Learning, award-winning storyteller Danielle Dardashti will provide you with an easy-to-use roadmap for creating a family story time capsule.
She will help you prepare to interview family members and put together a specific plan for recording, transcribing, storing, organizing, sharing and preserving your family stories.
If you aren't technologically skilled at this sort of thing, don't worry — Danielle is used to helping storytellers of all kinds! And you will get to keep the recordings of class, so you can review them as many times as you'd like.
You'll leave the course with enough material to mold into all kinds of projects, from scrapbooks to albums to podcasts.
This course is for people who want to:
- Preserve their history for future generations
- Honor aging family members
- Prepare for an upcoming family reunion or for a milestone birthday or anniversary party
All classes will be recorded and sent to registrants.
