The Young Designers and Creators Market will take place on Sunday 31st March 3-7pm at Smales Farm.  The market is the brainchild of a local group of young people with the aim of promoting digital wellbeing by encouraging youth to get off their phones and to do something creative. If you would like to have a free stall at the market or would like to busk, please visit the market website at https://creativeyouthnz.blogspot.com/ and fill out the relevant form. Sign up quickly as spaces are limited. The market will be cash-only so bring don’t forget to bring your dollars on the day.

Our annual Intergenerational Dialogue event takes place on Thursday 4th April 10.30-2.30pm at Takapuna Library.

We’re looking for participants and topics to discuss at the moment so if you’d like to be involved or have an idea for a local issue to discuss, please get in touch.
