Looking for speakers aged 8-15 years

Dee from Cambridge

Waipā District Libraries is hosting a PechaKucha event featuring children as the speakers.

A PechaKucha presentation is a format that uses slides or images that are displayed for 20 seconds each. The slides move automatically as the presenter is speaking. This format ensures that the speaker is concise, keeps the presentation moving, and gets through all of their content.

We are bringing the 10x20 format to Cambridge for our tamariki to get involved. This means that speakers will talk to 10 slides for 20 seconds each slide. The images are of the tamariki's choosing and the topic can be anything!

We are looking for children aged between 8 and 15 years and a minimum of 10 speakers for the event.

Children can register via their library or online: www.waipalibraries.org.nz....

Children need not be a member of the library and can be from any district.

All children will receive a goody bag for their participation.

The event is currently scheduled for Thursday 29 July at 6pm if the minimum number of speakers can be filled.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
