5pm – 7pm
Toi Auaha, 5 Worcester Boulevard
Free to attend – register by booking a free ticket through this Humanitix page

Aotearoa New Zealand’s arts, cultural and creative sectors continue to face complex and significant challenges. A flourishing future for our arts sector will require a collective approach to advocating for the changes that will make the biggest difference.

This session draws heavily on the significant research and subsequent publication of ‘A guide for arts advocates’ by Creative New Zealand in partnership with The Workshop, and uses the narratives for change approach, which focuses on changing the way we talk about big issues to shift mindsets over the medium to long term.

Led by Steph Walker (WORD Festival, Executive Director) and Jamie Hanton (Community Arts Advisor, Christchurch City Council), the workshop will be lightly interactive.

Bring your questions and come and enjoy some light refreshments together as we explore how to change the narrative to effect positive change.

Workshop schedule: Doors will open at 4.45pm. The workshop will start at 5pm sharp and take 90 minutes. If you cannot attend the whole workshop, you are welcome to come for as much as you can. Pēpi and tamariki are always welcome to attend with you!
