Share and Celebrate
Our Stories at the CWEA
Join us at the Canterbury
WEA (Workers Educational
Association) as we celebrate
Christchurch Heritage Week.
This year’s theme is “Our
Stories of Living and Learning”
and we invite anyone who has a
fond memory of the WEA (be
it newly created or stored away
for some time) to come along
and share it with our recording
team. We are working with the
wonderful Plains FM to create a
special radio show and podcast
– so get involved and help us
create a piece of history that
will tell our stories tomorrow.
We are also working with the
Canterbury Museum to bring
you a special look back at this
much loved Museum’s long
history. Author John Wilson
will then join us for a talk on
the topic of his recent book:
Canterbury University 150
years.
The CWEA has its home
at 59 Gloucester Street,
Christchurch and has
been delivering adult and
community education to the
people of Christchurch since
1915. Today they are visited
by over a thousand individuals
each year. Four terms of
programmes offer a broad
range of courses, talks and
workshops. Themes of social
and environmental justice and
encouraging citizens to think
deeply about the issues of the
day feature each term.
For full details of how to get
involved and to sign up for
these talks and all our Term 4
events, workshops and courses
