WHAT'S YOUR HIGHLAND
LIFE?
 BBC
Scotland are coming to Thurso in August 2007 to run storytelling and audio
visual workshops. You can tell your story � and share it with the world �
through 'Highland Lives', a BBC Scotland /
Highland 2007 project running this
summer throughout the Highland region. The workshops will help you
illustrate your story about Highland life through video or audio
slideshow. The finished pieces will be shown on the BBC Highland Lives
website �
http://www.bbc.co.uk/highlandlives
Stories on the website will reflect the
modern-day reality of life in northern Scotland. Taking part is free but
you do have to apply in advance. No one's too old, although the project is
for over-18s only. It doesn't matter whether you have technical experience
or not. Your story is what's most important.
