Kia Rite Hoea Workshop (previously named Get Set Go!)

Next Workshop:

Date/Time: Wednesday 23 June 2021, 9.30am to 2.30pm
Venue: Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Boardroom, Smith Street, Linwood.

We have re-vamped the previous Get Set Go resource with new tools to assist you with bringing your great ideas to life! Kia Rite Hoea is your one-stop-shop resource and workshop to help you run a safe and successful community event or programme. The tools in Kia Rite Hoea are user-friendly, ready to use immediately and will save you many hours of research and indecision.

Kia Rite Hoea includes 55 pages of jam-packed guidance, checklists, hot-tips and case studies. It has 27 templates that, if you use them, will be all the paperwork you need for a community recreation programme. Four collaborators worked together to produce it and it is linked to two Skills Active qualifications to help you achieve success in your work.

The workshop is facilitated by Christchurch City Council Community Recreation Advisors who have experience in planning and delivering recreation programmes and events.

Workshop cost:

· $35 for not for profit group

· $55 for Government Departments or Commercial business
