YOUTH WEEK 23rd - 27th June 2016
Giving back is giving forward. Aroha mai, aroha atu.
The aims of Youth Week are to
- Encourage young people to take on challenges
- Raise awareness of the positive aspects of being young
- Empower young people to feel they have the tools and confidence to support each other
- Support youth participation in community planning
This year’s theme is all about giving: whether it’s the way you support your family, your friends or your community, whether it’s the volunteer work you do, the help you give to your neighbours or the way you create space for others who are different from you, whether it’s about sharing your opinions, your voice, your stories or casting your vote when you have the opportunity. What do you give and what gifts do you receive - the hands, hearts and energy that have helped you on your journey.
