SADD + Wellington City Council workshop
Are you someone who cares about your community and wants to make a real difference? This is your chance to step up as a leader and contribute to an exciting youth-led road safety initiative in partnership with Wellington City Council.
As part of Kaitiaki o Ara / SADD (Students Against Dangerous Driving), you’ll be supported to think critically about the road safety issues that affect young people most—like distractions, peer pressure, or risky behaviours behind the wheel. Then, you’ll help shape the messaging and creative ideas for a Wellington road safety billboard campaign.
This isn’t just about designing a billboard—it’s about sharing ideas, working collaboratively, and using your leadership skills to influence real-world change.
You don’t need to be a designer or an expert—just bring your perspective, passion, and willingness to voice your opinions.
