Young, gifted and diverse: Awesome Aucklanders at the helm of Diversity Forum 2015
Young Aucklanders from migrant, refugee and other backgrounds will be participating, presenting and performing in this
year’s Diversity Forum to be held at AUT next Wednesday. Mixit is a unique, creative project for young people from
diverse backgrounds who mix it up with drama, dance, social commentary and korero.
“Auckland is one of the most ethnically diverse cities on the planet. Young Aucklanders from Mixit remind us that
diversity is one of the many things that make Auckland not just unique: but also totally awesome,” said Race Relations
Commissioner Dame Susan Devoy.
“Mixit are a group of incredibly talented, inspirational and totally awesome young Kiwis who challenge, entertain and
communicate through their unforgettable performances.
Ahead of next week’s Diversity Forum 2015 – Hui Kanorau 2015, Mixit will be holding “Our Auckland” workshops as part of
the Tales of Tāmaki celebrations at Auckland Museum.
