MELODIES OF HERITAGE
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Melodies of Heritage is a storytelling and songwriting programme that amplifies the voices of people across generations and backgrounds. Through shared stories, lyrics, oral histories and and sound, participants explore themes of place, identity, and belonging - celebrating both heritage and diversity. The result is a living soundtrack of communities, weaving together past and present to strengthen collective voice and pride.
Music is a bridge across time and cultures. By passing down melodies, rhythms, and oral histories, we strengthen community bonds, foster belonging, and ensure that cultural heritage thrives for future generations.
​
Co-created with communities and backed by research on music, memory, and intergenerational connection.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
“To all the residents: I’ve really enjoyed my visit to Norwood Green. You all were amazing throughout my visit, and I wish you a wonderful life ahead of you! I have never met my grandfather, so this means a lot to me!”
