As part of our final term welcome back, a bit of over spill from Pink Shirt Day and with the values Hono - Connect, Whakaaroaro - Reflect, Whakamana - Celebrate and Whakaū - Act, and following on from the success of You Can’t Ask That at the beginning of the year Ask Us Anything is the re-brand.

An innovative format offering audiences an intimate, very personal glimpse into the lives of people we rarely get to hear from. Featuring participants from the community it asks some very frank and often confronting questions, sourced from the public. Interviewees respond in their own words with candour, powerful, surprising, heartfelt and sometimes hilarious answers.

Creating a safe space for its participants, the event forgoes the typical trope of relying on celebrities, social commentators, experts and academics to speak on the chosen subject areas. Instead, it goes straight to the source – giving only those with lived experiences the opportunity to talk.

Please note: Due to the nature of the event some content is of adult nature and language.
