NEXT SESSION: Tuesday 19th November:
Why young people need community venues and the importance of safe spaces 💛

 

Community venues often look for ways to engage with youth, yet skip the step of considering their dreams and needs. In this session, we are joined by Daniella Hao-Aicken, General Manager of Youth Arts New Zealand to share why young people need community venues and the importance of fostering safe spaces for youth. By seeing the possibilities of spaces through young peoples' perspectives, community venues can serve youth in their communities better!

Connie
Bookings Administrator, Kete Aronui Arts Facility, Auckland
SpacetoCo offered us a chance to not only streamline our processes around the booking of space but gave us an opportunity to be exposed to a wider audience. We’ve since taken bookings for weddings, baby showers, documentary shoots and group workshops. The power of local people accessing local space is a vision we share with SpacetoCo
Jennifer
Owner, Paper Bird, Perth
The feedback from the customers is that people like the fact that they can browse the spaces and book from the comfort of their own home. That ability to continue to have the conversation with the customer outside of normal hours is a massive plus for us.

Our Why

12-1
13-1

Sustainability

We believe that there are plenty of spaces and it’s not always necessary to build more. By utilising existing assets more efficiently and by making it easier to book spaces online, we all play a part in a more sustainable future.

Local Economies

We believe in the importance of driving growth to local area economies. By providing a means for people to access local spaces, we hope to stimulate a buzz of activity within towns, precincts & localities . We believe that when local economies thrive, communities come to life.

Community Connection

We believe space activation plays an important role in community development and building connectedness between people.It is through this that we work towards building a supportive, inclusive and diverse society.
