Yarns With NZSIS

A chance to hear a good yarn, share some food and have a few yarns with other guys. No pressure. No expectations.

This month’s speaker: Greg from NZSIS

Greg joins us from the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service for a rare and important yarn about the threats New Zealand faces and the changing geo-political landscape.

He will share insights into where NZSIS sees risk, including extremism, radicalisation, online influence, the manosphere, young men being drawn into harmful ideas, and the wider pressures shaping communities here in New Zealand and overseas.

This will be a chance to hear from someone working close to the issues, ask questions, and better understand how global events can shape local risks.

A real yarn about security, society, belonging and the importance of connection.

What’s in it for you:

Hear a rare insight into the threats facing New Zealand

Better understand extremism, radicalisation, online influence and the manosphere

Learn how disconnection and belonging can shape risk for young men

Have relaxed one on one yarns with other men

Leave with a clearer view of the world we’re living in and why connection matters
