“The National Library of New Zealand, Archives New Zealand and Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision make a vital contribution to New Zealand’s culture heritage and democracy. The Government has decided to look into how this contribution can be strengthened.
The National Archival and Library Institutions Ministerial Group, led by the Minister of Internal Affairs Hon Tracey Martin and the Associate Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage Hon Grant Robertson, has been set up to undertake this programme of work. More information on the Ministerial Group, including the Terms of Reference, can be found here.
Over the next five weeks officials from the Department of Internal Affairs and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage will be seeking feedback, to understand the interests and concerns of staff and stakeholders.
Your thoughts and ideas are vital to this process. Click here for more information on providing feedback. Please submit all feedback by Sunday 19 August 2018 to nalifeedback@dia.govt.nz. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.”
The topic for the next culture session on Thursday 19 July 2pm-3pm at DOVEDALE – Wheki 204 is “Extroverts – how to thrive in a world of reflective thinkers”. This topic aligns with OCI/OEI Constructive Style – ‘Humanistic Encouraging’. The first half of the session will be a discussion to understand your dominant personality type. The second half will be a workshop exploring the effect of personality types in our work teams.
Some feedback from the last session “I thoroughly enjoyed the session, and it was good to think about why I like to engage and work the way I do. By recognising that this is my preference, but still only one way, I believe it allows me to better be able to reflect on my actions and adjust to accommodate others”.
