NZSL Club
Information about NZSL Clubs planned for 2025
Merge NZ is excited to host NZSL Club again in early 2025!
​
NZSL Clubs were set up three years ago, and they provided access for all NZSL learners and users to get together with fun-themed activities to interact by using NZSL more naturally and effectively.
​
Merge NZ is bringing it back on thanks to
the generous grant from the NZSL Board.
​
Where will NZSL Clubs be established?
Three NZSL Clubs locations have been confirmed in Hawkes Bay, Wellington and Christchurch and with two probable locations in West Auckland and Tauranga.
What does the NZSL Club facilitator role involve?
The NZSL Club facilitator’s role is to connect participants who have undergone NZSL training, to facilitate and create practice opportunities that encourage and lead to the normalisation of NZSL. To date, we have recruited 6 facilitators (x2 from each locations) and we will recruit 4 more facilitators soon. ​
​
When will NZSL Clubs start, and how often?
NZSL Clubs will begin every fortnight on the week of 10th February and run for an hour until the end of May. All NZSL Clubs will be totally immersed in NZSL.
​
Will there be other NZSL Clubs in other towns?
Actually, still, we hope to set up more NZSL Clubs in other towns after this project. However, please register your interest; we hope to make it happen only if you are happy to lead these NZSL Clubs.​​​
Coming soon
