Year 11 students from Nayland College's Foundation Certificate seeking volunteering opportunities that will allow hands-on experience that contribute to the community. We have around 22 students, and they are a mixture of 15-16-year-olds. We would be open to doing a full class at the same time or we could individualise to the different students. During school hours would be best but we can work around this if we need to. We can have 2 or 3 teachers there to support as well.

Cooperative Living & Affordable Housing workshop & networking
Explore cooperative and affordable living & housing models in this two-part event. Learn participatory permaculture design for resident-led neighbourhoods, then connect with others through structured networking. Ideal for organisations working on housing solutions and those with land, projects, or seeking community. Includes refreshments.
This “Cooperative Living and Affordable Housing” event series is for those interested in any form of cooperative and affordable living/housing such as tiny home village, ecovillage, co-living, co-housing, papakāinga, agrivillage, etc. It’s an opportunity to learn of innovative models and then network with others who have land, projects, or wanting to live in such an arrangement.
Part 1: Workshop on Participatory Permaculture Design for Thriving Neighbourhoods
We see that developer-led models of housing is not for everyone yet resident-led housing can be full of pitfalls and many are wishing for more choices–that are more sustainable, connected to neighbours and that give future residents more voice in shaping the place they will live. What can neighbourhoods look like that are designed using a living systems model–that honours people and planet. And where future residents are involved in the development process. This workshop will give you insight and allow you to explore this “new” model of development.
Part 2: Structured Networking
We will offer some activities to get people connected in meaningful ways. We are particularly interested to connect people who have land/property/projects/housing opportunities that they might want to make available to others who are seeking land or others to partner with.
Plant-based nibbles and refreshments will be served. Your ticket price covers food, venue, koha for the presenter and facilitation. We greatly appreciate your participation and support. Register in advance so we have correct numbers for catering.
