On 12th April, 65 young and not-so-young participants came along to Takapuna Library for Intergenerational Dialogue. The groups discussed local issues including reducing alcohol and drug harm, fuel taxes and digital connectivity, and suggested some great solutions. The event was a collaboration between Shore to Thrive, Devonport Peninsula Trust, Takapuna Library, Younite and Takapuna North Community Trust. We’d like thank everyone who took part from the local community and our local high schools for lending us some of their students for the day.
