When the military took over local schools in 1942, children took to the streets, making the town their classroom, and forming connections with the community and to local sites. Dr Frances Kelly, Associate Professor Kirsten Locke, and Dr Molly Mullen, of Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland will outline how the forces of war combined with educational change, provoked an experiment that had lasting effects on our education system.
