Museums across Oxfordshire have joined forces to encourage older people back into learning.
The Museum of Oxford in St Aldate's, Cogges Manor Farm Museum in Witney and the Oxfordshire Museum in Woodstock, are running the 'Drawn From Memory' project.
Oxfordshire County Council museums development officer Jocelyn Goddard said: "Elderly people will be encouraged to recall their experiences and then be taught how to share these memories through either computers or creative work such as a play or poem."
The scheme is designed to help older people who may have left school at 12- or 13-years-old and not received a full education to learn skills that they would otherwise not have the chance to acquire.
