Culture And Memory

Kara Hellys (Love Helston) - People and Places

MaDET would like the Kara Hellys oral history project to reveal some of the invisible cultural heritage stories linked to the Heritage Trail of Helston Town. It will help MaDET to educate and inform children and adults about lesser known stories through a Schools Programme, Gwariers (Community Adults) Programme, and the Kara Hellys Travelling Trail; an interactive promenade around the town. MaDET would like the history brought to life through workshops and interactive events in order to share more about the town’s historic people and culture. The Trustees hope that young and old participants will learn new stories linked to buildings and sites across the town resulting in a greater sense of belonging to the town and its history. MaDET would like Kara Hellys to strengthen the Trust’s relationship with the Museum of Cornish Life and Helston Council leading to more cultural events celebrating the rich hidden history of Helston.
