– 2023 NZSDRT INC NATIONAL CONFERENCE –

>>>> Conference Booklet Here

 

Tēnā koutou,

This year we celebrate NZSDRT Inc. 27th Conference by meeting in Wellington! Our theme for this year is:

‘Wānanga ki te manawa o Aotearoa- te tangata, te tikanga, te wawata’ – Meeting at the heart of New Zealand: People, Purpose & Passion.

Diversional and Recreational Therapists in Aotearoa have been enriching lives since 1992. Our last face to face event was in August 2021 in Taranaki before going back into a lockdown across the country. In 2022 we made the decision to host our first ever virtual conference, an event we were extremely proud to host given the massive amount of work the National Executive Board had to put behind the scenes for the event to run smoothly and be successful for all attendees.

This year we are back to our in-person conference, and we would like to remind you all that conferences are not only about talks, they’re about the people who attend them. After the long wait to be able to meet in person again, our in-person event will be finally happening again, bringing together Diversional and Recreational Therapists (DRTh), and people from all different geographical areas, backgrounds, and cultural experiences.

What better place to share your ideas, get valuable feedback and connect with relevant people as a DRTh than at an in-person event. Conferences help you learn new things. Not only by listening to talks and presentations but by the complete experience of attending the event, conferences help you become a better practitioner.

Presenters and Key note Speakers include and are not limited to:

    • Professional Director – Rob Campbell

    • NZCCSS CEO – Nikki Hurst

    • ARTA President – Renee Smith

    • RGM Aotearoa – Kris Tynan

    • LEGO Therapy – Elen Nathan

    • Death Doula Movement – Melanie Humphries-Conolly

Among many other speakers and presenters yet to be confirmed!

We look forward to hosting you in Wellington from the 18th – 20th August, 2023, at the James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor.
