Breaking the Rules

With a successful bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund, The Family and Relationship Centre are researching, with a group of young people, the history of "teenagers" in Southend. Our project leader will be helping up to twenty, 15 - 18 year olds to learn interviewing and recording techniques in order to record sound archives and a visual history of the "mods" and "rockers". The project will culminate in a display at Southend Museum at the end of the year.
