Share your memories, stories and photographs from your younger years.
u3a rewind is a project that will create a unique archive of everyday cultural history, capturing the defining experiences and memories of u3a members.
Do you remember dancing to rock and roll, discovering a favourite band through pirate radio? What was the first single you bought and what was your most memorable live performance?
Tell us about the music, subcultures and communities that shaped your youth to be part of this archive. It will be shared with the Museum of Youth Culture to ensure that the stories of today's older generations become part of the wider story of Britain's youth culture.

Learning packs
We have created three learning packs to help you delve into the past and discuss the music, film and culture that defined the early lives of twentieth century teenagers and young adults.
Each pack covers several different music genres and associated subcultures and features video resources, playlists of songs and discussion questions.
Each is available to download as PDF with links to videos and songs, or as plain text documents for printing and sharing.
