Introducing our next speaker Kii (Winston) Small, for ‘Healing through Storytelling’ Session 2.
Wednesday 6th March 9.30am – 10.30am

Kii (Winston) Small is the Co-Founder of Mapmo and the creator of the youth storytelling operation, The SaySoProject.
Originating from Kaitaia, Kii came to Wellington to pursue an education at Victoria University in 2015.
Since then, Kii has had the pleasure of working alongside the Rt. Hon. Winston Peters during Youth Parliament, and other ‘game changers’ in the Youth Development sector.
Storytelling is an under-utilised tool in New Zealand that can solve our most harrowing, yet simple issues.
Kii’s mission is to provide an innovative platform for young people to contribute to the working solutions addressing the issues that affect them the most in Aotearoa. In his spare time, Kii is a board member on the MYD Partnership Fund Board and the Co-Editor in Chief at Salient Magazine.
Last week we had a lovely session with Arihia Latham, so many of us were very grateful for the stories and conversations that evolved.

Don’t forget to tell everyone there is free Art lessons with Ilona @ Raukawa community Centre, Saturday mornings 11-1pm 

Check out our ‘Whats on’ attached for more details of weekly events.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
