A little bit about the the speaker:

Andrew was the Managing Director of Academy New Zealand, a  private tertiary institution based out of Christchurch, for 25 years. He now a professional director and continues to have interests in education.  His current community focus is on developing youth well-being.

A little bit about the talk:

We seek no commercial gain from this venture - our time is given on a pro-bono basis.  By taking advantage of our skills and experience we simply hope to give something back to the city which gave us so many opportunities.

We plan to capture the stories on film, and tell them in a very personal and authentic way.  In some respects this a very unChristchurch-like approach, as public displays of our passion and enthusiasm are usually reserved for the sidelines of sporting fields.  We also believe its time we celebrated with just as much enthusiasm the unsung heroes - the people whose success is measured by the way they improve the lives of others.

The earthquakes (and the challenges of the recovery) have definitely changed us all, and in many cases made us stronger both personally, and as a community.  We see a new culture and a new Christchurch emerging and we believe that by telling the inspiring stories we will discover the values which bind us together, and ultimately what now defines Christchurch as a city.

He tangata, he tangata, he tangata - it is the people, it is the people, it is the people.

We look forward to sharing the stories with you.
