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: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

What flowers are blooming in your garden?
Kia ora neighbours,
In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.
Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
