01/03/2010 YOUTH WEEK THEME AND CALL FOR GRANT APPLICATIONS
Based on the whakatauki "He tina ki runga, he tamore ki raro. Contentment above, strongly rooted below", the theme was decided by the NZAAHD youth steering group, founded and supported by Te Ora Hou Whangarei in conjunction with NZAAHD.

They said that connection to their whanau was very important, and contributed to their identity, self esteem and self worth (which is supported by the findings from the Youth 07 report and initial findings from the Youth Connectedness research).

He wero tenei. Youth Week's challenge to our communities is for whanau to strengthen their relationships and connections with their rangatahi so we can achieve Whanau Ora together.

The call for Youth Week grants is open until 7 April 2010 and aims to enable young people and communities to put on events to celebrate Youth Week. Some funding is reserved for events and activities focused on reducing alcohol harm. For more information and to download the application forms, go to www.youthweek.co.nz. Please contact Andrea Leersnyder at NZAAHD if you need help with the form, email admin@nzaahd.org.nz or phone 04 3829944.
