Hopes and Dreams 1 – January 2023

The first Hopes and Dreams, funded by East Suffolk Council, was a great success. With 8 couples (husband and wife, daughter and father etc) we worked 8 sessions, each one based on key stages in life. The recorded memory book was particularly successful, and continues to last on as a testament and legacy to the project. The final session was a reflection on the sessions and a a theatrical display of books and objects used during the sessions.

As a follow up to the glorious 8 sessions we invited all participants to a reunion once a month for 4 months on the last Friday of the month. At the Pear Tree from 10am to 11.30.

The movie of our first project is here.

Here are the 8 sessions:

1. Introductions
2. Childhood and family life
3. Schooldays
4. Starting work and working lives
5. Going out and having fun
6. Weddings
7. Homes gardens and animals
8. Rounding up and evaluation
