WHAT’S ON @ ANGCHAP ~ TE PUNA KARAITI?
DO SOMETHING
This is an 8-week series about hot political topics being debated in parliament, cafes and at
the water cooler. Each seminar will discuss the issue, review the current dialogue surrounding it
and most importantly you will be given the information and the inspiration to Do Something!
The speakers range from VUW academics, people working in the field and other active folks who are
already in the practice of doing something. As a result of this series we want to see you passionate
and empowered to act.
