  • The Dunedin Stadium a Community Controversy
    Unit: The Dunedin stadium A community controversy. Conceptual understandings • Communities are made up of a range of formal and informal groups • Within a community there are widely divergent views • There are formal and informal ways of making your views known • There are formal and informal channels through which to seek resolutions to community issues Curriculum achievement objectives Social sciences, Level 4: Understand how formal and informal groups make decisions that impact on communities Social sciences, Level 5: Understand how economic decisions impact on people, communities and nations Focus of learning Through this unit, students come to understand how community decisions are made and how community issues can be resolved. As well as gaining a better understanding of formal and informal groups involved in community decision-making, they can come to appreciate that within and between groups there can be a wide range of perspectives and ways in which individual and group voices can raise and resolve their concerns. They will also gain an understanding of what individual, community and national confl ict resolution strategies and channels are available. It is hoped that this understanding will encourage students to engage in wider school and community decision-making.

Dunedin Venues underwent a brand refresh with a new look bringing more alignment with the city’s gothic branding and more representative of its focus. The business events market went from strength to strength making a significant contribution to the Dunedin economy. This year Dunedin Venues hosted 4,040 delegates who attended 21 multi-day conferences at the Dunedin Centre.
