RUNNING YOUR OWN YOUTHFEST EVENTS
This package of resources supports other branches/regions to run their own YouthFest Theatre Aotearoa competitions/festivals. Check out the 'How To' and 'kaupapa' guides to give your background as to its inception and how to run the festival locally and regionally.
YouthFest was been trialled in the Massey region in 2025 by Amy Edwards and Karla Haronga. Whakaari Aotearoa Drama NZ supported their regional festival through NEX.
Amy and Karla have compiled all of their resources in to this package to enable other regions to run the event.
Please contact Amy or Karla with any pātai; they are happy to help coach, foster and assist other people during this process to help create a successful festival.
