Canterbury Christ Church University
Canterbury Christ Church University has concentrated on the Widening Participation and community engagement agenda through the majority of its CCI programme. Projects have considered the Olympic theme of 'Welcoming the World' and the richness of diversity within University Campus activity. Creative activities have mostly been digital-media based, with animation work, new films and photography projects emerging alongside a strong strand of music-based activity.
