Paul Voices launch

During this challenging time we've had to be inventive about how we engage with the absorbing oral histories collected. With thanks to the technical skills of Chris Osborne from the village we have created a website to hold the edited interviews, photos, poems, stories and animation so more people can enjoy them. An exciting outcome is that we got in touch with Mousehole School to see if they wanted to engage with the material especially during this current lock-down period of home schooling. As a result we have developed a Treasure Trail page on the website with a quiz which directly relates to the oral history extracts and some extra fascinating questions about the village and its surrounds which will really test local knowledge. Participants may have to 'phone a friend' or do a bit of research to find the answers. The Treasure Trail is open to all, not just school children and we hope that it will appeal to all ages, especially during this time where we are stuck at home. The website demonstrates a variety of creative responses to the history and oral histories of Paul and we are also inviting the wider community and schoolchildren to make their own creative response to the oral histories and information on the site.
