All Dunedin school students are invited to take part in the UpSouth project - an educational tourism project to celebrate and promote Dunedin.

 

This Dunedin City Council online project aims to get students involved in the Labour weekend festivities, which celebrate 100 years of the Dunedin Railway Station, Olveston and other notable Dunedin heritage sites, and advertise these to students throughout New Zealand.

This supported educational Internet project is for students from years 1 to 10, and runs for 10 weeks in term 3, 2006. It is an integrated curriculum-based project assisting Dunedin students to understand one of the best-preserved "living" Victorian and Edwardian cities in the Southern Hemisphere.

Students are invited to present their knowledge of a heritage site, in Dunedin City - that means something to them - as an online brochure (in Word, as a pdf file or web html pages) to their peers throughout New Zealand. These students will provide feedback and vote for the top

brochures and from these TourismDunedin personnel will select four for the UpSouth Award.

For more details about the project, please contact Monika Fry.
