Interested in providing training-workshops or capacity-building courses?

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Building capacity is at the heart of community development and community empowerment. When communities are well organised, inclusive, influential and cohesive they create a positive environment for people to enjoy a good quality of life.

As part of MECOSS' work to increase the capacity of individuals and groups working at a community level in Manukau East, we are keen to open up channels for them to access development opportunities.

If you're interested in providing training-workshops or capacity-building courses to enrich voluntary or not-for-profit community groups and social enterprise organisations, or you'd like to suggest a course you'd like to see MECOSS consider running, please email lindsay.upton@mecoss.org.nz

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
