The Forum had a unique presentation from Tyne & Wear Museums which gave an insight into local history by way of Culture Shock stories (Digital Storytelling Project). The project explores the diverse heritage of individuals, groups and communities living in the North East of England.

The South Forum would like to thank the Members for their continued support throughout the year which has seen many changes, we would also like to thank the Management Committee and Officers for their ongoing hard work as the Forum moves forward to hopefully a very successful year.
