Telling the Chch Story with an app

Telling the Chch Story The ChCh Story app brings compelling stories straight to your phone.

Great things are happening in Christchurch. Big events like the Cricket World Cup, under 20 Fifa World Cup and Te Matatini kapa haka festival are all coming this year. New retail, office, and hospitality spaces open each week, big anchor projects are underway and locals are doing wonderful things. The rebuild is undeniably gaining momentum and 2015 is an exciting time to be in Christchurch.

This year Future Christchurch is bringing the irrefutable stories, the true stories, from real people, proudly calling Christchurch home. Read about Alex, the young Cantabrian helping under privileged kids in Sri Lanka and India foster a love of cricket, director of the SPECTRUM festival George Shaw bringing the biggest Banksy collection in the southern hemisphere to Christchurch, and the group of creative Cantabrians transforming vacant sites into cultural havens.

Stories that will surprise and inspire, and stories to give hope are packaged into the ChCh Story app. ChCh Story lets you discover what's really happening in Christchurch, and being achieved by people just like you.

Discover the stories on your own navigating the app at your leisure or open up the app and start your city adventure. Each story is geo-tagged to organise stories when you are physically in the region and bring them straight to your phone.

The ChCh Story app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play and the best part is it's free! Carry all these stories in your pocket and be proud of Christchurch, proud of what is being achieved and proud of the Christchurch Story.
