Our project will get people of all ages using and talking to each other about dialect. We will harness the power of dialect and local heritage to increase people's wellbeing and sense of pride in self, place and community across England. Working with a diverse range of partners and stakeholders from different sectors and complementary projects, libraries, museums and schools, we will deliver an ambitious programme of interactive public engagement events, co-created outreach activities, exhibitions, and creative commissions, informed by cutting-edge dialect research, and building on the successes of our recent work and assets. We will develop participation and education opportunities (citizen science dialect detectives, dialect surveys, digital storytelling, volunteering, training and skills-building, making and transcribing oral history recordings) for people from a range of backgrounds and age groups, including hard-to-reach audiences and those experiencing isolation.
