Create and Sip

“Create and Sip” is an event we designed to uplift and project youth voice. Our event will provide spaces for young people to share their voice on topics that are important to them such as campaigns, their interests, raising awareness etc via canvas painting, poster making, and zine making; all to be shared on the walls at Evolve and through our social media. Our event is designed to encourage young people to share their voice in different and creative ways, in a space where they can connect with other young people. Alongside different creative stations, we will have a Mocktail creating station, delicious kai, a low-sensory room (for breaks and people with sensory needs) and a fun music playlist of local kiwi artists. We will invite and hope to have local MPs in attendance to connect with and hear young people's perspectives first hand. Our hope is that young people can come to this event and feel they have expressed their voice visually, and have been (or will be) heard. We want the event to project their voices to the wider community, as they see fit.
