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: 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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

85.6% Yes

Dear All,
Community Survey 2024
Introduction
Community resilience is having the resources, social capital, communication, and competence so the community can thrive. Disaster resilience is being ready, able to respond to, and able to recover from a disaster. A community is more likely to be disaster-resilient if it is community-resilient. A community can be resilient if a holistic and sustainable approach is taken to the well-being of its people. This survey will help inform community conversations to generate ideas to improve community resilience and wellbeing. The survey includes some basic disaster readiness questions. For more information, please visit the Newlands website newlandsnz.weebly.com...
How, When and Who
This survey can be completed online either in private or in a group and for example at home, a community gathering or a neighbor’s house etc. The survey is anonymous, and confidential and does not record any personal data of the respondents. The Aotearoa Community Resilience Network charitable trust is the caretaker of the survey data. No other public or private organization or persons have ownership or access rights to the data.
Next steps
The data will be added to the responses from previous surveys here and the results will be shared with the community. This includes a series of community conversations from February to April 2025 to discuss the findings and agree on the steps to enhance Newland’s resilience and well-being. Please tick the last box in the survey, and include your email, if you are interested in knowing more about what we are trying to do.
