Australian University and C&T in international collaboration

Children and young people in both the UK and Australia will soon be involved in a collaborative project created by C&T and Central Queensland University. In the UK, schools and colleges who are part of C&T’s British network of schools will have access to TreeMappa 2.0. 

Using drama, art and new media to engage with local history and stories (indigenous, post-settlement and contemporary) children will work with artists, museums, pre-service education students and local community members to create and share their work, both live and online.

The project is called TreeMappa 2.0 because it combines many of the social and cultural aspects of the ancient mappa mundis (such as to be found in Hereford) and the user-generated content online resources (such as Photosynth and Google Maps).
