We are more than you ๐...
This is the theme of this year's Youth Week, a nationwide festival of events to celebrate the talents, passion and success of local young people, on now until May 26th.
Organised every May by Ara Taiohi, the week inspires us to value, support, and affirm the diversity of young people in our society. The goal of Youth Week is to make Aotearoa a country where young people are vibrant and optimistic and are supported and encouraged to take up challenges. ๐๐ช
