This event is organised by 4 members of the community with varying viewpoints, in partnership with Te Herenga Waka o Orewa Marae who are offering their space as a venue, a welcoming and kai for attendees.
This event will include a pōhiri/welcoming to the marae, a Q&A section where members of the public can ask questions to panellists, followed by an open but moderated discussion and conclude with a lunch provided by the marae. Panelists are yet to be confirmed but we are hoping to have between 3-5 panelists with varying viewpoints who bring a range of experience and expertise on the subject.
Please bring a koha in the form of a gold coin or food.
