World of Cultures – FINAL DAYS

The Team from Auckland Council

Our region's vibrant cultures are celebrated this month with World of Cultures (18 March - 3 April).
This festival offers free activities online and in-person across Tāmaki Makaurau.

With easy long-distance international travel still a way off, you can still immerse yourself in Pacific weaving, admire hand-drawn Indonesian batik fabrics, join a Bollywood dance class and watch live cultural performances.

Although this year's festival is smaller due to COVID-19 restrictions, World of Cultures is a great opportunity to learn, dance, eat and explore everything that makes Auckland a unique and incredible place to live.

Visit the World of Cultures website for more activity details including COVID-19 restrictions for in-person events by clicking on -Read More'.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
