The White Elephant Trust

So! Been a while since the 2009 WE-Speak youth conference, and the results are FINALLY ready to be released. So naturally White Elephant is working on a release party at the moment, which you are ALL cordially invited too.

The idea of WE-Speak is to get our (“youths”, 13-25) voice out there and public – in other words, let people know
A: that we give a flying
B: that there are solutions

Before we release the formal report we’re collecting last-minute info, so if you have any input, tap it out in our discussion forum (http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=11941&uid=150872384520) and we’ll add it to the release. This is your LAST CHANCE to contribute to something that will shape the focus of many people’s efforts in 2010, so go nuts, lets hear it!

CCC is looking for submissions to rename what was formally known as “Hack Circle” on the redeveloped section of corner High & Cashel Streets.

A committee of councillors + local business people will consider all submissions, which close on 12th October. You can have your say by clicking the link below….

If you are a young & are passionate about youth related issues & would like to be involved in making positive changes for Youth in CHCH – then come to the ‘You Can’ forum hosted by the Otautahi Youth Council.

DATE: Saturday 19th Septe mber 2009. September

The Otuatahi Youth Council is a group that was setup two years ago with the aim to benefiting Christchurch youth and improving the overall image of young people.  They are currently going through a transition stage, as such they are now looking for new members and they want you!!

Download the attached application form and email your submission to:  otautahiyouthcouncil@gmail.com

White Elephant’s chairperson Antz explains the concerns young people have with the lack of things to do in the inner city.

Stemming from our original youth conference in 2007 “Moving on from Edgeware”, time has come to reconvene and update the youth conference report. This is your chance to have your say on issues and topics facing young people in Christchurch and actually have your voice heard!

If you are passionate, well networked, have some good ideas and want to be a part of the solution, then this day is for you.  Take the day off school (check with your school/parents first) and come have your say on youth issues.

The first 100 to register will receive free entry to Chartfest 2009 straight after!
