Vacancy Title
Digital Heritage and Content Creator Apprentice
Employer Description
Stratford-upon-Avon has an expansive cultural history centred around Shakespeare but no formal archive celebrating the richness of local people’s stories. Escape Arts will address this by creating a People’s Archive: a social history of Stratford-upon-Avon embedded in community celebration and civic pride. For 27 years, Escape has developed grassroots creative heritage work celebrating people and place. We want to create a People’s Archive to tell the stories of our community, to ensure our participant's work has a legacy and demonstrates the transformative power creative heritage has on individuals, supporting wellbeing and creating a sense of belonging. The People’s Archive will research, archive, digitally capture and exhibit the social and local history of Stratford-upon-Avon over three years, creating a digital platform of local stories that can continue to be developed by Escape, local individuals and community groups after the project has ended to ensure legacy. The project and this post are supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players.
