EarthDiverse: new ‘Festivals of the World’ workshop

todd from EarthDiverse

A two-day family workshop on an important Mexican festival “El Dia de los Muertos” is offered on Thursday and Friday the 27th & 28th of October 2022 from 5:30-8:30pm each evening.

Death is inherent in life. Celebrating El Día de los Muertos is an opportunity where Mexicans face this fact from a perspective of gratitude and honour for our loved ones who have already passed away. Combining cultural and religious elements, this special day passes between colors, smells, joy and nostalgia. This workshop will give us the opportunity not only to learn about this beautiful tradition but to be part of it by remembering our loved ones. This two-day, two-part workshop is offered as an in-person workshop only and has not Zoom component.

Poll: Do you think the idea will work?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

|underwrite construction of new private houses|, as high interest rates and an economic downturn make it tough for developers to get finance for new projects.

The new time-limited scheme is designed to de-risk developments, making finance easier to obtain for developers to start building. Developers often have to pre-sell a proportion of dwellings in any development in order to secure finance, which has become much more difficult in the current economic downturn.

Poll: Do you think Waikato needs an agency to grow its economy?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato may be getting a new ‘go-to’ body for building the region’s economy.

The previous economic development agency, Te Waka, shut down earlier this year, saying the “passionate advocates” no longer had the resources to do what they’d planned.
