In May 2019 Retina NZ and Retina Youth hosted the Young Visionaries Forum. Held at Te Tahawai Marae in Pakuranga, Auckland, this Hui brought together young vision impaired people from various groups, from around NZ and with a diversity of socio-economic and educational backgrounds.
The outcomes of this facilitated discussion are now being used by Retina Youth to formulate its own action plan for the future; to become self-determining, meeting the needs and objectives of young people while still enjoying the nurturing support of Retina NZ.
Watch out for more news in the coming months.
