About
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 powerful stories of courage, creativity, and community spirit that reveal the heart of this neighbourhood.
Let’s Go Fly the Kite
Let’s Go Fly the Kite is a citizen science project which explores 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
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.
This is a National Heritage Lottery Fund project led by Together Culture in partnership with Anglia Ruskin University’s StoryLab and the Cambridge Room. Webpage design and development by JoinedUp Thinking. Podcasts developed by ARU StoryLab. Illustrations by Laura Jingyi Wu. The interviews with residents were conducted by ten local people, employed as citizen historians throughout the project.
