While it might surprise some, we encourage older people to get involved in Youth Week too.


Examples of events from 2009:

  • Young people put on a dinner for their elders.
  • Young people teach older people how to text.
  • Kaumatua and kuia help students to build a Maori medicinal herb garden.
Ideas for events for 2010:
  • Have an afternoon tea with grandparents and young people
  • Get some young people involved in an activity in your organisation
  • Find out if there is already a Youth Week event in your area and get involved
  • Put information about Youth Week in a newsletter to your members encouraging them to get involved
Age Concern NZ support Youth Week, read about it on their website here.
