Our biggest ever Festival for the Future!
On 4–6th August, more than 1,300 people converged on Auckland for our biggest ever Festival for the Future. We had young people from every region nationwide in the room, as well as a growing number of international delegates from the Asia-Pacific Region. The buzz was absolutely incredible!!
How do you create a Festival together?
This year, the Inspiring Stories team has taken a slightly different approach to creating Festival for the Future, throwing the doors wide and inviting in our wider community to design the Festival experience with us. Learning and Development Lead Shruthi Vijayakumar takes us through the codesign process.
