Let’s Go Fly the Kite
“Let’s Go Fly the Kite” is a citizen science project which explore the history of the Kite area in Cambridge and aims to create a roadmap for how its residents and visitors can build upon their heritage to shape its future.
The Navigator is your digital space to be inspired by the heritage of the Kite. A storytelling tool where past and present are interweaved to create a more inclusive narrative of Cambridge.
In our enhanced podcasts we showcase four key themes that have shaped The Kite: Socially Progressive, Connected to Nature, Creatively Expressive, and Collaboratively Entrepreneurial. These themes were identified through historical research and residents sharing shared powerful stories of courage, creativity, and community spirit that reveal the heart of this neighbourhood.
This is a National Heritage Lottery Fund project led by Together Culture in partnership with Anglia Ruskin University’s StoryLab and the Cambridge Room.
The Navigator webpage and podcasts are developed by ARU StoryLab.
The interviews with residents were conducted by ten local people, employed as citizen historians throughout the project.
