CCCU Jubilee ‘Our History’ discovery day one

When: Tuesday 10 May from 10am – 2pm (note a second day at CCCU on 17 June 2022 to continue the project)

Location: Canterbury Christ Church University

Students: For Year 8 and 9 students who have a particular interest in history or who might benefit from a chance to visit CCCU and break down boundaries by working with new people and other schools.

Each school is invited to bring up to 10 students to the event.

Event objective:

• To teach valuable research skills
• To reflect on how society has changed
• To see how life has changed for students over the course of 60 years
• To nurture an academic interest in local history

Outcome: With the support of Christ Church ambassadors, students will produce an array of dynamic posters using collage, newspaper cut-outs and photos that will be displayed as part of our Diamond Jubilee celebration.

Teacher role: Teachers will play a supervisory role, ensuring that students are on their best behaviour and focused on the task at hand. The event will be led by academic and professional staff from CCCU.

Evaluation: The event will be evaluated by all students attending.

Practicalities: Students are invited to wear their own clothes to this event. For lunch they can either bring a packed lunch or bring money to purchase food in the food court.

Parking is available on site. A number plate will need to be provided in advance.
