Sunshine Coast Day of Listening a Great Success!

On Saturday November 27th, the SCMA in collaboration with Christenson Village hosted a Day of Listening, a chance for participants to interview someone special in their lives and have the conversation recorded with professional audio equipment. The event was a resounding success - all of the time slots were booked up in advance and the participants raved about their experience.


As the participants arrived, they were treated to the hospitality of the organizers who had created a cozy environment in the museum’s library for the interviews to take place. Once the tape was rolling, the participants told stories and shared memories as their conversations were recorded by a make-shift recording studio set up outside the room. The 40-minute sessions were over in a heartbeat and many of the participants commented that they were just getting started, obviously enjoying the atmosphere and conversation! After the session was over, the organizers burned a copy of the interview onto CD so the participants could take a copy home to share with others or keep for the future. All in all, it was a wonderful day and a great way to kick-off a series of events to honour the act of listening and preserve the stories of the Sunshine Coast residents.


Due to the success of the event, another Day of Listening is planned for the new year, so keep posted to our website or call the SCMA if you have any questions at 604.886.8232
