EarthDiverse: new ‘Festivals of the World’ workshop
A two-day family workshop on an important Mexican festival “El Dia de los Muertos” is offered on Thursday and Friday the 27th & 28th of October 2022 from 5:30-8:30pm each evening.
Death is inherent in life. Celebrating El Día de los Muertos is an opportunity where Mexicans face this fact from a perspective of gratitude and honour for our loved ones who have already passed away. Combining cultural and religious elements, this special day passes between colors, smells, joy and nostalgia. This workshop will give us the opportunity not only to learn about this beautiful tradition but to be part of it by remembering our loved ones. This two-day, two-part workshop is offered as an in-person workshop only and has not Zoom component.

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)
