Up to 3 students from each Hawke’s Bay High School are invited to join young leaders from around New Zealand for 2 days of workshops, skills, action planning and fun. The Hawke’s Bay Youth Jam is being run as part of the 2011 ReGeneration Roadtrip. We are looking for motivated young people who are willing to step up, represent and take positive action in their region to another level. So if you’re keen to get more active in your local school, community or region then come along and get involved!
The Jam is designed to bring young people from around Hawke's Bay together so that they can share information, connections and collaborate on projects in the year ahead. Participants can expect to take away new skills, contacts and a better understanding of complex local and global issues. Practical outcomes from the event will be personal and group action plans for projects in your schools and communities in 2011. Participants will also be invited to participate in the next big ReGeneration national event in February 2012.
Cost: $20 per student (includes meals, accommodation and workshops)
Getting there: EIT campus, Gloucester Street, Taradale Napier. Once on campus, turn right at the first round-a-bout and the Marae is the first building on your right. Please be sure to arrive by 9am on Friday.
The programme is based on a series of interactive workshops that bring together a great range of life experiences, important issues and practical skills that the presenters have learned through their own unique experiences. Participants will choose which workshops best fit their needs.
