Inclusivity: LIANZA Aoraki Weekend School 2021

 Saturday 15th – 16th May  Weekend School hosted across two venues by NMIT Library, Nelson and Tūranga,

Welcome to Inclusivity: LIANZA Aoraki Weekend School 2021. Come celebrate our diverse communities and share how we reflect these to create more inclusive libraries. This two day event will consist of a range of speakers from library assistants to managers, sharing their knowledge of recognising and connecting to individuals and their uniqueness. Our aim is to make the ideas, inspiration and knowledge shared during the weekend accessible to members across our region. For this reason, live events will be held in both Christchurch and Nelson locations with live streaming (LS) between. Participants in each location will see speakers face-to-face and watch live streaming of talks from the other location, with interactive technology enabling attendees to ask questions and participate at both sites.

This weekend is also about library professionals taking the time to network and socialise with one another, and throughout the weekend there will be time for discussion and an evening social event.

Saturday 15th May 2021

All sessions in Christchurch will be held in the Spark Place, He Hononga | Connection, Ground floor, Tūranga. Sessions in Nelson will be held at NMIT Library. Talks will be live streamed between the two sites.
