Spring into Summer Talk Series: Planet Local

Watch the film 'Planet Local'
'Planet Local: A Quiet Revolution' presents innovative ways of supporting local businesses, growing local food, sharing traditional knowledge and challenging the crude, deceptive mainstream media narrative of ‘bigger is better’. It highlights countless initiatives to protect and restore human-scale local economies, communities and the natural world.

Find out about Timebank
Timebank is a community of local people who share their knowledge, skills and services to support others, without exchanging money. Based on the premise that we all have something to offer, every hour spent doing something for someone else, earns you Time credits instead of dollars. Use these Time credits to buy another member's time to get the services you need.

Let's talk
Everyone is welcome to join a discussion after the film centred around what’s already happening locally and what more can we do to build a stronger, more connected community in our rohe.

Presented by Janey Pares Edney (Tai Tokerau Timebank Co-ordinator for Whangārei and the Coast) and Karen Wyeth (Whangārei Timebank member).

The film, 'Planet Local', is made possible with the support of the Whangārei District Creative Communities Scheme.

Free entry: seating on first come, first served basis.
