Driving Change: Pacific-led Licence Workshops in Ōtara

In Ōtara, three organisations are breaking down barriers to help Pacific communities get their licences.

DriveStar, Community Driver Licensing Workshop, and MintedVR have teamed up to run four-day workshops in Gagana Samoa, Lea Faka-Tonga, and English in hopes of making the learner’s licence process accessible, culturally relevant, and empowering. From the Otara Library to communities as far as Hastings, this kaupapa is transforming lives — one licence at a time.
