FREE Treaty of Waitangi Workshop
There's an interesting workshop coming up on the 29th of April about the Treaty of Waitangi and New Zealand history. It's targeted at migrants, facilitators, teachers and community leaders and takes up almost a full day (9am-3pm), including workshops and activities. It's organized by Migrant Connections. It's a nice opportunity for those of us who are not very familiar with these important topics just yet.

Taranaki Community Law meeting room, Level 1
Vero Building
10 Devon St East
To RSVP, send an email to mctnz@xtra.co.nz before the 20th of April. Attached is the event flyer.

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)
