Civics Education

Stephen from Central Whangarei

Hi

There has been a petition just started to include civics education in schools.

I am not associated with organising it, but am in favour as it may help our democracy if more people understand how that works. The link to it is in sentence 2.

Housing is a huge topic in Aotearoa, and we're preparing to enter the conversation. How can we build a collective response to housing, ensure good quality stock and maintenance, and to help the related industries deliver what we need and want?

To begin the process of putting together a strategy, we invited key speakers from various industries within the housing sector and asked them what we should consider. We also invited various businesses and community groups to take part in the discussion.

Speakers:
Ashley Church
Jade Kake
Trevor Griffiths
Ngaire Rae

We can expect this will be the start of a long journey. Set aside an hour to watch this high level discussion - the next steps could bring some of these big questions to the community.
