Students from previous year 7-8 and this year’s 5-6 have been participating in a community storytelling project called Our Stories since 2016.

 The children have been interviewing people who grew up in Lyttelton and some of these stories have now been edited and are live in the brand new Our Stories app.You can download the tour and listen in the places they relate to around Lyttelton. Be sure to listen to the tour intro by Kingsley, Willow and Clementine! The project has been made possible with a Lotteries Grant and with funding from Lyttelton Port of Christchurch. Proceeds from tour downloads will help this non-for-profit project to continue (currently free till the end of the year!).

You can find links to download the app at www.ourstoriesproject.org. Sign up to follow the project or like www.facebook.com/lytteltonstories.

Parents who grew up in Lyttelton, be sure to get in touch with Kris Herbert (kris@place-casting.com) to sign up to be interviewed next term. If you’d like to volunteer to help out with interview co-ordination or transcription, please also contact Kris.
