three-days you will collaborate with other participants through a job sharing process and together you will create a silent film! The skills and knowledge you gain during the workshop will also set you up to create your own three-minute film to enter into the International Youth Silent Film Festival NZ Nationals 2019.

The aim of the 3rd annual OneChance Youth Awards (OCYA) is:
The OCYA will provide a platform of distinction to allow peer and community recognition with award finalists officially acknowledged at the OCYA Celebration; a night of glamour and glitz, key note speakers and entertainment where young people are appreciated for their outstanding dedication in the community and their nominated category.
Nominations Close: 5pm Friday 19th April.
Kids market this weekend. Great chance for promotion and publicity. No charge for stall but I totally understand if you are not able to attend due to it being Easter. Just let me know and I can advertise you will be there promoting your kids activities and venues.

The public submission process for Youth Parliament 2019 select committee topics is now open, and closes at midnight on 28 April 2019.
Young people (aged 12-24 years) in particular are encouraged to submit their thoughts on the ten topics Youth MPs have chosen to be considered in select committee hearings at the two-day Youth Parliament event in July 2019.
Submitting their views on the topics selected for discussion at the 2019 Youth Parliament event is a great opportunity for young people to have input on issues that concern them, their community, and young New Zealanders today.
The Office of the Clerk is administering the public submission process for the ten Youth Parliament select committee hearings through the New Zealand Parliament website.

We are bringing in some of the country’s best street dancers to Te Puke for a dance battle. The idea is that the youth and townsfolk would benefit from the workshop, entertainment and performing arts. Dancers and entourage would get to experience Te Puke and have the rare occasion to perform out of the bigger cities where competitions usually take place. Many of the dancers are regular international competitors and this particular dance community is very accessible and crowd-friendly.
We are delighted to confirm that Connect 2019 will be on our church marae at Ohope Beach, 4pm 19 July – 2pm 21 July 2019.
