This Kapow History careers video introduces pupils to the world of oral history through an engaging interview with Leona Fensome, a historian working in arts and heritage projects. She shares her journey into history, from childhood experiences with cultural artefacts to her career in researching and documenting untold stories.
The discussion explores how history is still evolving today, particularly through oral history, which allows communities to reclaim and share their perspectives. Pupils will gain insight into how historians research the past, use different sources and uncover hidden histories. Leona also discusses the importance of deep listening, the role of archives, museums and libraries in historical research, and the diverse career paths linked to history.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s History in Action series, helping pupils understand how history is researched, recorded and continuously shaped by new discoveries and perspectives in lessons like the one below.
