What’s in store for 2010?
2010 is well and truly upon us, and we have been busy working on our plans and initiatives to make it another ripper year for our communities, for both our young folk and our elders.
The ‘Te Wai Pounamu Foundation’ (TWP) is the organisation that was behind the 2009 A Day at the Beach Adventure Festival. Since the festival finished in September last year the wheels have been turning ever quicker building up a series of future projects and developing a team determined on positive social change.
Recent Awards:
In 2009 TWP received a Trustpower Community Award for the festival then in June 2010 TWP were made a nationwide finalist for a parliamentary ‘Green Ribbon’ award from the Ministry for the Environment.
We would like to introduce our 2010 projects:
A Day at The Beach Roadshow 2010 and the West Coast Film Challenge, two exciting and educational initiatives aimed to engage and inspire the greater West Coast community.
The Roadshow will travel from Karamea to Haast from 6-17th September. Bringing a mixture of environmental messages, workshops, education plus incorporating a premiere of a short film made about last years ‘A Day at the Beach Adventure Festival’.
The West Coast Film Challenge is a film competition for West Coasters 25yrs and under. The topic is West Coast specific and the winning entries will also be a part of the 2010 Roadshow film premiere.
2010, another great year!
We’re excited about the next few months of 2010, we’d like to give something back to the communities who have assisted us in achieving some of our dreams over the last year. If you’d like to be involved in any way please contact us for details on how we can work together.
You can find more details on each of our projects in the submenu list.
