Wellington and Christchurch NLP workshops 2019
Over the October school holidays, two National Leadership workshops took place hosted at the AA Building in Wellington, and the Fire and Emergency NZ Woolston Station in Christchurch. Both groups of SADD’s amazing National Leaders gathered to gain personal development, create some great content for SADD, and have some discussions about best-practice, problem-solving big issues, and collaboration.
In Wellington, students were tasked with creating new videos to explain our refreshed 6 principles. This saw them following the design thinking process to plan, script, and film 6 short clips for students to use throughout the country when explaining SADD in assemblies. They also led a discussion with NZTA and the NZ Police around "good practice" and what this means for SADD.
In Christchurch, our students got deep into the SADD brand and vision. They rewrote the Why, What, and How of SADD to make it relatable and easy to understand, and were responsible for making a new promotional video for SADD, explaining what we are, how we work, and why we are important. This resource will be used in schools, workshops, and at stakeholder meetings in 2020 and beyond. Students also chaired a forum with the NZ Police and Fire and Emergency NZ around how to better collaborate with school groups across the country.
Both weeks were filled with a lot of hard work and our National Leaders did such a great job at completing their tasks and projects. We still managed to fit in a lot of laughs and fun though, and about 1000 tik tok mentions! Below are some of our National Leaders highlights of their time at the workshops.
Thanks to all our amazing National Leaders for all the work they do, can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2020!
