CAMP WIRED is back for another year!
The theme for this year is 'Do we talk about social justice anymore?’ This year, we’re diving into how social justice talk is shifting in community work — what’s changing, what’s sticking, and what that means for us on the ground.
We’ll have an opening panel, an education session, and an interactive workshop so we can think together, learn from each other, and bring some fresh energy. We’ll be joined by incredible speakers, including Barrister, Campaigner & Writer Max Harris, Pacific disability advocate Lavinia Lovo, Sue Bradford from Kōtare, Aaron Hawkins from Inspiring Communities, and more great folks to be announced soon.
The goal? That you leave Camp with fresh tools, ideas, and connections that strengthen your mahi, wherever and however you do community.
In its fourth year, Camp Wired is for anyone doing community work in its many shapes and forms — come along and be part of the conversation.

PROGRAMME:
Panel – “Where Did Social Justice Go?”
When was the last time you heard social justice being talked about in community spaces? It feels like it’s slipped out of view a bit. We reckon it’s still happening — in pockets — but we want to bring it back into the open.
This session is about making space to talk about what social justice means, why it matters, and how it shows up (or doesn’t) in our work. We’ve invited a group of panellists to help us get the conversation started.
Structural analysis as used by Kōtare
Led by Sue Bradford
Kōtare are well known for their deep work in social justice and political education. In this session, Sue Bradford will guide us through an online taster — a chance to get a feel for structural analysis and how we might apply it in our own community work. It’s about understanding the bigger picture and finding ways to act with more impact.
Interactive Workshop – “Bringing Justice Back to the Table”
Led by Cissy Rock
This workshop is a chance to reflect on where social justice shows up — and where it’s missing — in our work. It’s for those of us who think things through by talking them out — who want to be in a room (or in this case, a Zoom!) with others, grappling with where social justice lives in our mahi, where it’s gone quiet, and what we can do to bring it back to life.
