Raising the Bar Christchurch 2023

 

UC academics ‘raised the bar’ by taking their research to different venues around Christchurch on Tuesday 2 May. More than 1,400 people attended the 20 free talks held across 10 venues in Christchurch City, Lyttelton, and Lincoln, marking the inaugural Christchurch ‘Raising the Bar’ event and turning pubs and bars into classrooms by combining education and popular culture. If you didn't get the opportunity to attend one of the sold-out talks on the night, check out the podcasts of each talk available online here!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our pre-match event! It was a sold-out occasion and we had the pleasure of hearing UC lecturer Brad Miles speak on sports psychology and behaviour - great insights to hear before heading to the game! Thanks to UC's partnership with the Crusaders, alumni and their family members had the opportunity to ask players questions and grab a photo!
