Inclusive Communities – July 1st to 31st 🤝

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, nationalities, ages, orientations and even genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, nationalities, ages, orientations and even genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There’s many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck where each attendee brings a dish from a country of their choice to coordinating a fundraiser that benefits refugees or our elderly there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their native language or ensuring local footpaths are accessible!

Don’t forget this month also coincides with Women’s Refugee Awareness Month and International Day of Friendship on July 30th - a United Nations day that promotes the role that friendship plays in promoting peace in many cultures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re making your community more inclusive this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Meet the finalists! Secondary schools are invited to National Library of New Zealand for two free events involving four of Aotearoa’s best YA authors. Includes the opportunity to buy books and get them signed by the authors.

There are two sessions in Books Alive. We have designed it so that your school can attend both sessions, to maximise appearances from these fantastic shortlisted authors.

These events are suitable for ages 13 - 17 years.

Session 1
11:00am - 12:00pm: Acclaimed authors Des Hunt ('Search for a Kiwi Killer') and Brin Murray ('Children of the Furnace') talk about their incredible shortlisted books for curious readers and interested writers.

There will be a break between sessions for book sales and signing.

Session 2
12:30pm - 1:30pm: Comic artist Ant Sang ('Helen and the Go-Go Ninjas') and novelist Rachel Craw ('The Rift') give insights into the creation of their latest shortlisted works.
The final session will be followed by book sales and signing.
