Oral history with schools around 8 themes
Econonomic story of Wase companies and professional sectors supplemented by personal stories.
8 themes:
Around the middle of the last century, the Waasland region experienced a great economic boom, in business sectors such as the textile industry, metal construction and shipbuilding. Large and small companies employed thousands of people. In the last quarter of the 20th century, however, many of these companies were forced to stop their activities, with all the consequences that entailed.
50 years of work in the Waasland region is an oral history project. The Heritage Unit Waasland supplemented the history of the Waasland companies and professional sectors with the personal stories of people who worked here in the second half of the 20th century. These testimonies paint a colourful picture of what “work” meant in the period 1945-1995.
The results were compiled on a DVD with video and audio clips and accompanying documents.
