These one-to-one conversations, lasting up to an hour and taking a topic of the speakers' choice, collectively form a picture of our lives and relationships today. The conversations cover a huge range of life experiences told from the perspective of the people who have lived them, from birth to death and everything in between. The collection currently consists of 650 conversations made by contributors from 7 to 101 years old, recorded in all four corners of the UK and includes people who have moved here from across the globe.</span></p><p class="" style="margin:0.625rem 0px 0.6875rem;max-width:960px;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:1rem"><span style="font-size:14px;font-weight:normal">The event includes a panel discussion chaired by Fi Glover in which BBC producers reflect on the process of making the recordings and the impact of broadcasting excerpts, Listening Project participants discuss their experience of contributing to the collection and library curators and researchers explore the potential for using the online Listening Project archive for a variety of research purposes as it continues to grow.</span></p><p class="" style="margin:0.625rem 0px 0.6875rem;max-width:960px;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:1rem"><span style="font-size:14px;font-weight:normal">In partnership with the BBC.</span></p><p class="" style="margin:0.625rem 0px 0.6875rem;max-width:960px;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:1rem"><a href="http://uk.sitestat.com/bl/whatson/s?britishlibrary._.media.bl.global.whats-on.events.oct-2015.listening-project-workshop-programme.pdf&ns_type=pdf&ns_url=http://www.bl.uk/britishlibrary/~/media/bl/global/whats%20on/events/oct%202015/listening-project-workshop-programme.pdf" style="font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">Listening Project Workshop Programme</a><span style="font-size:14px;font-weight:normal"> (PDF)</span></p></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px"><b>Details</b></span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px"><br></span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px">Name:<span class="" style="white-space:pre"> </span>BBC/British Library Listening Project Workshop</span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px">Where:<span class="" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Conference Centre, </span></font><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif">The British Library, </span><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif">96 Euston Road, </span><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif">London </span><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif">NW1 2DB</span></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px"><a href="http://www.bl.uk/aboutus/quickinfo/loc/stp/large10656.html">Show map</a> <span class="" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="http://www.bl.uk/aboutus/quickinfo/loc/stp/">How to get to the Library</a></span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px">When:<span class="" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Mon 12 Oct 2015, 10:30 -
