Creative Convergence 2024
Dec 2 - 6th
A RICI Inclusive Arts Initiative
The Arts provide a unifying platform to enhance understanding of diversity and accessibility. Creative Convergence is a week long Arts initiative in Warkworth to highlight International Day of Persons with Disabilities (3rd Dec). We aim to bring together diverse groups and marginalised communities based in the Mahurangi region, to highlight local talent and promote inclusive opportunities.
WHAT IS INCLUSION?
Social inclusion is the act of enabling all groups of people within a society to have a sense of belonging, and to be able to participate in community life. It is based on fundamental values of equity, equality, social justice, and human rights, as well as on the principles of acceptance and embracing diversity.
Ko te kotahitanga te mahi tahi o nga tāngata katoa i roto i tētahi pāpori, e whakawhanaungatanga ana tātou, e whakaurunga i ngā mahi katoa o te hapori. Ko ēnei ngā kaupaua whakapū; te tōkeke, te mana taurite, te tiaki tika, te mana tika, me ngā mātāpono o te whakaaetanga me te rerekētanga.
