This week the Like an Egg team will be driving across the Heads of the Valleys to Tredegar. In a scheme with The Spirit of Bevan Partnership we will be helping a group of teenage girls make a short documentary about the foundations of the NHS and its architect Nye Bevan. Along with seven other videos the finished product will be used as a tour guide for Tredegar – home of Nye Bevan and the reason the NHS was founded.
This is the first of three films that we will be helping to make and we are looking forward to seeing what the girls will come up with. It will be a learning curve for both parties but hopefully really fun.
This project started with an idea we came up with last year. The Valleys hold such a great mountain of social history that its time new technologies were used to maximise this to the tourist industry. We set about approaching towns and organisations about the possibilities of video and mobile communications. The Spirit of Bevan Partnership is one of the first groups to make the idea a reality. We can’t wait for the results.
