About OurTube

What you probably won't see on TV.

A huge amount of what happens in Christchurch never makes it onto TV, either mainstream or regional. OurTube is redressing the balance, by providing an internet channel where these stories can be told.

The overall aim is to present a broad mix of items, ranging from earthquake recovery to personal stories to the arts, with a particular emphasis on the human drama, hope, encouragement, recovery, etc.

For instance:

  • Earthquake recovery – Community groups and churches are leading the way in recovery, but the media pick off the easy headlines and don’t cover much of the rest.
  • Human drama – Every person has a story. Ordinary people are doing remarkable things, lives are being changed. We need to hear these stories.
  • Volunteer sector – Thousands of people give up thousands of hours to help in community projects, work in specialised ministries, usually unsung. But without their efforts, society could not operate. These heroes should be celebrated.
  • The arts – Christchurch is one of New Zealand’s most dynamic creative communities, producing
    Painters Dancers
    Musicians Carvers
    Actors Writers
    Sculptors Woodturners
    and more...
    These arts and artists are crying out to be seen – and now they can be.
