SHIFT and Th'Orchard

5th Mar 2023

Wow, what an awesome group of rangatahi who came to Chch yesterday on our arts trip. Super loved this chill, fun, polite, group of young people, who made the absolute most of their experience.

Shift - the Canterbury Museum's Urban Art Takeover was aaamaazing! So worth a visit - it kept us all engaged and exclaiming for nearly 2 hours. Th'Orchard performance was inspiring and a lovely way to end the day - super cool to hear the chill vibes of these young creatives. We are thinking about how to bring you to Kaikōura now!

Huge thanks to Kiri Jarden and Th'Orchard for hosting us and making the day even more special - you guys rock! Thanks to the Ministry of Youth Development - New Zealand for making trips like this possible.

We managed to squeeze in lots of extras - gelato, opera, buskers, it was a full on day with the best company. Mark, our new youth worker at Te Hā, and Keepa even managed to fit in a game of chess!
