The course introduces you to oral history interview technique. With practical exercises, you will learn how to prepare, conduct and record an interview. We will address questions such as: How do I create the right interview setting? What are the best questions to ask? And: how can I trigger memory? A complete interview technique course consists of 2 half-day sessions. This can be extended with a return day where you learn how to translate the interview recording into an audience-friendly final product. Depending on your wishes and needs, the course is tailor-made.
