LAST CALL: Puppetry Workshops for kids: Mon & Tue 11 & 12 July 2022
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce its Puppetry Workshops for Kids! Join professional puppeteer and puppet-maker Ifat Vayner and open the doors to the world of puppetry. Each of the two workshops will bring a different muppet to life, and in each session, participants will learn how to construct a muppet, how to give it a voice, personality and movement, and how to develop and perform short scenes.
Loco the Taco is designed with a younger age group in mind and Jacques the Chef is designed for a slightly older group, but the age brackets are very flexible. No previous art experience necessary, all materials provided, take your finished muppet home!
For ages 10-15 yrs: Jacques the Chef: Mon, 11/7/22 10am -1pm
For ages 8-11 yrs: Loco the Taco: Tues, 12/7/22 10am -1pm

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.

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital?
How long it’ll take depends on who you ask and you can measure it in years, elections, or Rugby world cups.
But Hamilton City will eventually be home to more people than Wellington City - likely in somewhere between 24 or 34 years according to Statistics NZ and Waikato University.
What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
