PK Kids, Powered by PechaKucha

Dee from Cambridge

Waipā District Libraries is hosting a PechaKucha event featuring children as the speakers.

A PechaKucha presentation is a format that uses slides or images that are displayed for usually 20 seconds each. The slides move automatically as the presenter is speaking. This format ensures that the speaker is concise, keeps the presentation moving, and gets through all of their content.

We are bringing the 10x20 format to Cambridge for our tamariki to get involved. This means that speakers will talk to 10 slides for 20 seconds each slide.

We are looking for children aged between 8 and 15 years and a minimum of 10 speakers for the event.

Children can register their interest through the library, or register online: www.waipalibraries.org.nz....

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
