Mentors Wanted to Support Creative Kids
We are still on the hunt for skilled artists to share their knowledge with the next generation of New Zealand creatives.
In a partnership with Kawakawa Kahui Ako, and supported by Eastern and Central Community Trust, we're running a mentoring program that will pair artist mentors with ambitious mentees. With your help and support, our mentees will set and work toward their creative goals over three terms, starting May 2022.
If you're someone who can help our local tamariki thrive by sharing your artistic knowledge, apply to be an artis mentor today!
Just email a CV and short bio to info@feildingartsociety.com. We're also happy to answer any questions you may have.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
