Description
Ōtautahi in Practice is a podcast where we amplify stories of curiosity, growth, and the transformative power of learning in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Each episode celebrates the unsung heroes of our city (Learning Champions and Ambassadors) who remind us that every lesson learned, big or small, shapes who we are.
We’re here to humanise learning, inspire curiosity, normalise failure, and foster real connection through storytelling. Whether the story takes place in a school, a community garden, a garage, a boardroom, or under the stars — this show explores what learning looks like in practice.
