Strengthening
Communities HUI
October 26-28
Lake Karapiro 2022
The annual gathering of Environment Hubs Aotearoa, Community Energy Network and Zero Waste Network members and friends.
This year's theme for the hui is Regional Connections.
Over the last few years the importance of a thriving, local community has been made very clear. As national networks, our focus is often on wider national conversations, but as community enterprises you're all deeply connected to local communities. This year, we want to explore the space between, bringing members from across the three networks to explore what might be possible, and what is already happening, on a regional level.
What are some of the foundations needed to build solid regional relationships and projects? What are the opportunities that exist in your region? How could the networks support and foster these?
