How do we capture different aspects of life happening in our communities? No doubt you\u2019ll have heard that we\u2019re \u2018living through history\u2019 at the moment. How do we create an archive for the future of what our lives are like right now?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll be exploring all these questions and more during the six weeks of the project, which brings together collections material and expertise from five different University Museums in Scotland:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>University of Aberdeen<\/li>\n<li>Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design and the University of Dundee<\/li>\n<li>University of Edinburgh<\/li>\n<li>The Glasgow School of Art<\/li>\n<li>University of Stirling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each week will explore a different theme and medium of art including photography, oral histories, landscape painting and public art. All instruction videos and resources will be posted online so participants can work through them at their own pace but we\u2019ll also put them into groups of 6 or 7 people for weekly online discussion groups.<\/p>\n<p>Every participant on the project will be assigned a current student from one of the universities as a mentor who will join the weekly discussion group sessions and help participants to complete the activities. All participants who complete the required number of activities will be eligible to receive an Arts Award Explore qualification, a registered qualification on the Registered Qualification Framework, moderated by Trinity College London. The deadline for signing up to participate in the project is <strong>Monday 8<sup>th<\/sup> June<\/strong>. We want everyone to be able to participate so let us know if having access to a mobile device or internet would be a problem.
