Two free workshops will run early next month using First World War artefacts as starting-points for discussion, stories and drama.
Organised by Disability History Scotland (DHS) and run by ACTive Inquiry, the idea is to reflect on how the Great War stimulated change throughout Scottish society.
Some of the stories which emerge from the events will go forward as part of a film animation to be developed later this year by Leith-based Muckle Hen.
The workshops will take place on: Saturday 3 May in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Queen Street, 2.00–4.30pm; and Saturday 10 May, at the Pilmeny Youth Centre, 44 Buchananan Street, 10.30am–1.00pm.

DHS – ‘Our history, our lives, our future’ – was formed in February 2012 to help ensure the history of disabled people in Scotland is not forgotten and that the lessons of the past are learned. It has an active and interesting website which can be accessed here.
