Online Youth Governance Workshop
Event description
The average age of directors in Aotearoa is 60, and it is trending up. However, we know it is important to have young voices in governance roles.
Gen Z and Millennials make up the majority of the job market, yet don't always have much input in top-level decision-making.
The Social Change Collective is hosting a free online workshop, spread over two nights, as a crash course for young people looking to better understand the world of governance.
Session 1: Tuesday 5th September, 6pm-7.30pm
We'll be joined by Rose Hiha-Agnew, CEO at Community Governance Aotearoa, to explore the world of governance and discover why it's the cornerstone of effective decision-making. Get insider insights on how governance shapes the path to a brighter future for Aotearoa.
💡 We’ll discuss the pivotal role young voices play in transforming the landscape of leadership. Learn why your perspective matters and how your unique insights can spark innovation and progress.
💼 Unlock Your Potential: Roll up your sleeves and dive into interactive breakout rooms where you'll tackle real-world workshop exercises. Get hands-on experience and supercharge your skills for governance greatness!
🚀 We’ll wrap up the session with a sneak peek into exciting up-skilling avenues. We'll guide you on where to find ongoing support and resources to amplify your impact.
Session 2: Wednesday 6th September, 6pm-7.30pm
🌟 We’ll be joined by Sophie Handford, Councillor at Kāpiti Coast District Council; Te Pūoho Katene, experienced governor and Executive Director of Te Pūtea Whakatupu Trust, and Devon Murphy-Davids, CEO at Inspiring Stories, who've charted their path in governance. Through a panel discussion, you’ll gain insights from their journeys and gather wisdom from those who've been at the helm of transformative decisions.
🎙️ Your Voice, Your Questions: You’ll engage directly with our panelists, ask burning questions, and tap into a wealth of knowledge that could steer your own governance adventure.
