Social Justice Week 2018 Workshops

As part of Social Justice Week 2018, we joined with Church organisations in Hamilton, Palmerston North and Wellington to facilitate workshops to help people recognise enabling and disabling communities and contexts, share ideas on how to be inclusive, and discuss concrete actions we can take towards creating more inclusive and participatory communities.
