The hui starts with a pōwhiri at 5pm on Friday 22nd April, though if you can be there a little bit before that to learn a waiata together that would be great. :)
Yes we stay at the marae overnight - although if you live in Wellington and would prefer to go home in the evenings and come back in the mornings that’s totally okay too, you just need to let us know when you register/prior to the hui. :)
Hi there, glad to hear you’re coming. Theres no wifi but theres reception so you can use phone data.
Sleeping allocations are all genders together, only separate sleeping currently is for under 16′s and the volunteers but let us know if you feel you might need something different and we can sort it out.
The best way to sort this out would be over email hello@insideout.org.nz
Looking forwards to meeting you!
Oh sorry to hear about the clash for you! No it hasn’t been on Anzac weekend in the past, we usually go for the middle week of the April school holidays to enable people from all across the country to attend, and it just so happened that it fell on Anzac Day this time (although the hui finishes on Monday morning). If you live in Wellington we’d be happy to discuss if you could make parts of it but not the whole time!
No the groups haven’t been decided yet - if you’d really like to be in a group with someone you can send us a request with the name of you and your friend off-anon or e-mail us and we can sort it! Generally the groups are random to help everyone meet new people, though. :)
We’re excited to announce Shift Hui 2016! A hui for young people of diverse sexualities, sexes, genders and friends aged 13-22 all across Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Head to http://shift.insideout.org.nz for more information and registration!

What an incredible weekend we had running Shift Hui! So proud of our
community, volunteers and young people for coming together to make this
happen. There’ll be lots more photos to come but for now we just want to
say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who was part of the hui and to our
funders Ministry of Youth Development - New Zealand and Ara Taiohi Youth Week New Zealand! We hope the hui hangovers are on their way out and you’re all self caring to the max back in the world outside of the hui! #shifthui15
Meet Tabby - our coordinator behind all the e-mails you’ve been getting! Right now she is very underslept and has a lot of things to do, but she is very excited that the hui is just one sleep away (if she can sleep!).
Tabby is a queer femme who grew up in England and Nelson and now lives in Wellington. She is the National Coordinator of InsideOUT and also works with Wellington Rape Crisis and PrideNZ. When she’s not working on queer stuff, she’s obsessing over astrology or adding to her collection of all things polka dot!
Sign: Taurus with a Cancer Rising and Aries Moon
Favourite colour: Purple
Describe yourself in 3 words? Polka Dot Queen
What is your favourite pizza topping? Hummus and veggies! So yeah mostly I don’t eat pizza.
Why do you enjoy Hui? Hui have been some of the most magical experiences of my queer life! I love that they bring people together to connect, share and learn in a lovely environment and there is so much freedom to be yourself.
What is your favourite smell? Hmm, the berry and rose scented candle from The Warehouse
Special thing you do to make you feel good about yourself: Wear/surround myself in polka dots.
