🎉 MPLP Update 🎉

The Meaningful Participation Leadership Programme (MPLP) is going from strength to strength. With some leaders completing projects and others starting new ones, it is an inspiring time in Marlborough! The transformation has had such an impact. Through co-designed, experiential and blended learning modules, MPLP leaders are upskilling to ensure their voices are heard & valued in the civic spaces that matter most to them.

Supported by the Marlborough District Council and Immigration New Zealand, this programme is a step towards consistent meaningful change, led by those who know their communities best. Stay tuned for more.
