Whakatika I tō Mana, an event dedicated to raising awareness about and ending sexual violence, will take over the Marlborough Events Centre on Saturday May 24.
The 10am to 4pm day event focuses on rangatahi young people with fun activities for the whole family and enthralling speakers like mental health advocate Jazz Thornton, and Maataa Waka’s own Mike Nowacki for a local view.
The 6pm to 9pm adults evening event features Nicola ‘Nix’ Adams, a prominent voice in Aotearoa for her inspiring journey from a troubled past.
With delicious kai, live music, and powerful talks, Maataa Waka promises an enlightening and engaging day for all to learn from.
