About the Event
The Filipinos in Aotearoa Welcome Session will be held on the 4th of May 2025 at Rārākau Riccarton Centre, Riccarton, Christchurch.
Last year, the sessions focused on employment. This time, we are focusing on wellbeing of Filipinos as they adapt to life in Aotearoa New Zealand. We have invited guest speakers to talk about safety in the community, of families, and of migrant workers.
There will also be limited 15-minute slots for free immigration consultation with Black Sands Consulting and legal consultation with Layburn Hodgins.
