Day 2: Protest & Demonstrate

Start your day at Wellington Museum, which gives students the chance to connect the past, present and future through stories, taonga and objects of Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui. In our Protest and Action programme, students reflect on the driving factors behind social change, tackling contemporary issues such as human rights, environmentalism and the impacts of colonisation.  

After lunch, it’s on to Capital E’s OnTV where your class will create their own TV show! Taking on roles such as Director, Sound Designer or Autocue Operator, students are encouraged to challenge themselves to learn new skills. In Taku Tohu, they’ll look back at the efforts that led to the creation of the Women’s Suffrage Petition and Te Tiriti o Waitangi and how this compares with today’s online campaign culture. Taku Tohu links well with a follow up visit to He Tohu at the National Library.
