Our 2025 Fresh Voices project has broken down barriers to provide access to free Write On workshops and publication support to young people in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Waitaha Canterbury and Rēkohu/Wharekauri  Chatham Islands.

​

We are delighted to share these latest fresh voices with you, from rangatahi in Ōtautahi, Christchurch. ​You will find an eclectic mix of writing selected by the young people who participated in this project.

 

More 2025 writing from tamariki can be found here.
