During the lockdown period, a new group of youth workers began collaborating. Ash Cowper of Kōhine Māia invited youth workers from Westport to Kaikoura to work together to find ways to support youth during this challenging time. The theme of Youth Week in 2020 was ‘We’re speaking. Are you listening?’ Young people had been sharing their thoughts via posters that are displayed in our gallery, and youth workers from all across the Top of the South sent a message of support to young people in response.
