On Saturday 20 May 2023, during Youth Week, YANZ hosted a one-day career fair and creative showcase called Creativision.
Across the day, rangatahi and tamariki heard from a range of industry leaders in the arts while networking with creative organisations, including:
- University of Auckland
- A combined Music Industry stall (with the likes of the New Zealand Music Commission and DRM)
- Youthline
- Depot Artspace
Creativision was a space for open, forward-thinking kōrero about opportunities for young people in the creative industries across Aotearoa. Speakers placed vulnerability and community-oriented mahi at the centre of their discussions, prompting young people to consider: "what do creative arts and social justice look like practically?"
Throughout, both speakers and rangatahi explored visions for a future of creativity in Aotearoa that upholds manaakitanga and demonstrates the impact of youth-led learning. The event was hosted at Shore Junction, a youth innovation hub in the heart of Tāmaki Makaurau.
