Lost in Translation (originally FONDLEA Norfolk)
Location: Norfolk
The group is promoting projects in ten different schools in Norfolk, looking at the history, origins and current use of Norfolk dialect. Individual pupils are encouraged to research the use of local dialect across the generations within their families and communities.
With professional help, they will make recordings of local dialect speakers. Unedited recordings will be deposited at the Norfolk Sound Archive. Each school will use the material they collect to produce an agreed output, which could be an exhibition, video, drama, booklet, dictionary, collection of stories, etc.
They will be supported in this by group members and specialist staff from the County Council Education Department. All groups will produce local exhibitions in their communities about their work. There will also be a county-wide exhibition, and a seminar to bring together the work of the whole project and disseminate the lessons learnt widely.
The project also has academic support from Prof. Peter Trudgill of the University of Fribourg, the acknowledged expert on Norfolk dialect.
