          – including migrants in Rwanda watching at 4am in the morning, and senior, international speakers
          from the UNDP, the World Economic Forum and the Obama Foundation, we are moving towards a
          hybrid festival experience from 30th July to 1st of August, 2021 with an expected domestic audience
          of 1300+ at the TSB Arena in Wellington and an even larger, global, online audience.

HELP TO INCREASE ACCESS WITH SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT

Thanks to our supporters, we’ve provided scholarships for more than 1,200 young people to attend
the Festival since 2011. For many, the experience has been life-changing. With your support, we can
increase access for more young people from rural communities, migrant and refugee backgrounds,
and the LGBTQI community who would benefit a lot from Festival but to whom cost is a real barrier.

HOW COULD YOUR SUPPORT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
