Online MUV Talks: Agents of Change

A new Online MUV Talks is coming in September!

This time MUV Talks will be dedicated to “Agents of Change” - Join us to hear and to be inspired by entrepreneurs and creators who are putting social impact at the forefront of their work.

You can grab a free ticket or choose to make a donation to I Got Your Back Pack, a NZ registered charity (#CC53632) who support survivors of domestic violence by donating backpacks filled with practical and essential items, to women’s refuges around the country, to help the women and children who often have to leave their homes with nothing but the clothes on their back.

What is MUV Talks?

Is a non-profit series focused on building capability and relationships within communities. What makes it special is that it is driven by the purpose of celebrating and empowering everyday people who are doing incredible things. We focus on sharing stories that may otherwise not be heard. 

Each event consists of seven talks for seven minutes, from a diverse set of people with different experiences and points of view, talking about one common theme. Our unique approach to networking helps to create an energetic and friendly environment that guarantees an exceptional experience for our attendees.

Since November 2016 we have had been inspired by more than 100 speakers. You can check out the talks on our Youtube channel: http://bit.ly/MUVTalks-YouTube

Introducing our inspiring speakers

Rebecca grew up in Upper Hutt and moved to Palmerston North to complete a Bachelor of Communications at Massey University. After a year in the students association, MUSA, Rebecca moved to Wellington to work as a Learning and Development Consultant. After being made redundant Rebecca tried teacher’s college and when that didn’t work out she moved back to Palmerston North. Rebecca volunteered for a couple of organisations while looking for employment and it was during this time that the idea for Just Zilch - Food Rescue & Free Store came up. After nine months of planning with a small team, Rebecca found herself to be the founder of this now successful organisation.
