What was life like in different parts of Great Britain before, during and in the aftermath of the Second World War? Where did people work, what were their homes and schools like and what did they do for leisure?
A new project from education charity Into Film, in partnership with BBC Learning, the British Film Institute (BFI) and the British Council, is encouraging children aged seven to 11 to explore and commemorate local history by recording interviews with members of the war-time generation and combining the footage with archive clips to create their own short documentaries.
Inspired by upcoming BBC Two series Britain's Greatest Generation, which marks the 70th anniversary of the conflict, the project includes a curriculum-linked teaching resource from Into Film, a film-making toolkit to aid production of the final film, and a collection of archive clips from the BFI and British Council archives.
