Every family has stories that live in one person's memory, and then don't. A father's first job. How your grandparents met. The year everything changed. We mean to ask, and somehow we never do.

This free workshop is about finally fixing that.

A short talk from Ralf, who's spent years getting real stories out of people, even reluctant ones. Then you'll try it yourself with a partner and leave able to do it at your own kitchen table.

None. This is for complete beginners. You'll leave knowing exactly how to start.

Not at all. There's no writing involved. It's about asking good questions and recording the answers.

Do I need to bring the person I want to interview?

No. You'll practice with another attendee here, then go do it with your own family afterward.

Just yourself, and an old family photo or two if you'd like. For recording, your phone is all you need.

Reserve your spot below. Bring a sibling or a friend who keeps meaning to do this too.
