  1. I live in South Auckland so I can make my way to Mangere PIPC on my car on Monday. Does the workshop start at 10.30am? Also to the Dawson CICC Church for dinner.
    Dinner at Hotels, do I go to the Hotel or home?
    Rotorua and the marae visits and stays, do I catch the bus with everyone else or do I make my way there myself?
    Sundays, do I have to attend the church services? Can I just meet you guys at the venue where our workshops begins etc? Hear from you soon

    1. Hi Ianny,
      obviously, the more you hang with the group, the more your relationships and potential collaborations will grow. Probably dinner at home will be better than at the hotel, but please let us know, so we don’t over order or have a meal for you. You can come with us transport-wise. The Church services act as case studies for us to discuss and better understand some of the context impacts for our choices. It would seem a bit strange if you were not part of that discussion.
      The time of the workshop is listed as 9.15, but we will notify alterations to each day on the day before. Hope that helps. 😜🤪
