Place in time

The Christchurch Documentary Project

Contents

Educational projects linked to the primary and secondary school curriculum continue to play a significant role in the Place in Time project. Place in Time exhibitions, books and content drawn from the archive have been used as starting points for students to develop their own work, both within the classroom and surrounding communities.

Introduction

The success of Place in Time's educational programmes lie in enabling schools to involve their students with projects that take them outside the classroom and into the community.

In developing packages to sit alongside Place in Time events and curated content, we have worked with a number of organizations and schools in Christchurch and nationwide:

Christchurch Arts Festival
University of Canterbury Platform Arts Festival
Christchurch City Council Learning Centres
IHC and CCS Disability Action
The Press
Centre of Contemporary Art Gallery (COCA)
Red Bus Company Christchurch
Our City O-Tautahi

In response to Tim Veling's Red Bus Diary exhibition and facilitated by the Place in Time project, school pupils from Discovery 1, Cashmere Primary School, Beckenham Primary School and St Andrew’s College Preparatory School spent two weeks travelling by Red Bus on three different routes with digital cameras and notebooks recording their experiences.

An exhibition of their work was then held at the Centre of Contemporary Art Gallery (COCA) .
