Sophia Crestani Street Clean Up

Tuesday 12th April 2022 | Seb Rice-Walsh | R1 News Reporter | sebastian@r1.co.nz

On Friday the 8th of April 2022, hundreds of students took to the streets of North Dunedin with brushes and shovels in hand in honour of student Sophia Crestani, who died at a flat party in 2019 after an overcrowded stairwell collapsed.

This is the fourth annual street clean-up, formed by parties to the Sophia Charter: the University of Otago, the Otago University Students’ Association, the local council and local fire and emergency services.

Seb Rice-Walsh spoke to students at the clean up about what Sophie Crestani’s legacy means to them.

Seb Rice-Walsh spoke to environmental sociologist Kirsty Wild and North & South editor Kirsty Cameron about the state of our media.
