Community Education Container
Date: April 2023
Our Role: LiVS Incubator Project
By bringing together the knowledge and resources of 18 ACE providers, we were able to offer a diverse range of free activities, catering to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Visitors to the Community Education Container could participate in many activities such as thought-provoking book discussions, join several harmonious choir performances, learn and communicate through NZ Sign Language, explore the art of origami, browse the treasures of the pop-up op-shop, try out 3d printing and find out about the wide range of education on offer in our city. Sing-alongs filled the air with joyous melodies, while Zentangle mindfulness art provided a therapeutic escape.
The Community Education Container was a fun-filled adventure that left lasting memories and inspired a passion for continued growth and life-long learning.
By leveraging each other's strengths, expertise, and perspectives, we created a fertile ground for better outcomes. We extend our deepest gratitude to Life in Vacant Spaces Incubator and the following ACE Providers, who played a crucial role in making this event a resounding success:
