Auckland Winter Warning! ❄️ Don’t let the cold stop you—get moving with ACET!

As the rain and chills settle in, don’t just stay tucked under your blanket! ACET is launching a special Winter Wellness Initiative to keep our community active, healthy, and connected. 🎾✨

We believe staying active is the best way to boost your immunity and keep those winter blues away. That’s why we’ve secured a professional indoor court for our very own Community Pickleball Project!

Why you should join us:

🏃‍♂️ Beat the Winter Slump: We’ve got the indoor space to keep you dry and warm. Physical health starts with one step—or one swing!

🤝 The Ultimate Social Hub: Pickleball is the "social ceiling" of sports. Whether you're on the court or cheering from the sidelines, it’s the perfect place to meet new friends regardless of age or background.

🌍 Experience the Global Hype: It’s the world’s fastest-growing sport! Total beginner? No problem. ACET provides ALL the gear (paddles & balls)—just bring your sneakers!

Our promise to the community: We handle the prep, you bring the health and happiness. 📍 Where: 149 Greys Avenue, Auckland CBD (On-site parking available)
⏰ When: Every Saturday, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM (Starting May 23rd)
💰 Cost: FREE (Proudly sponsored by ACET)

March 21 · International Taijiquan Day

One Breath, One World · Sharing Health and Peace

As the Spring Equinox approaches, bringing the perfect balance of Yin and Yang, we welcome the annual International Taijiquan Day on March 21st!

Taijiquan is far more than just an exercise; it is a profound legacy of Eastern wisdom. In 2020, Taijiquan was officially inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This is not only a prestigious recognition of traditional culture but a global tribute to the spirit of "Harmony as the Highest Value" and the "Unity of Humanity and Nature."

Today, Tai Chi has reached every corner of the globe, serving as a bridge that connects different nations and cultures. On this special day, let us converse with the world through the art of Tai Chi.

Registration is NOW OPEN for International Taijiquan Day – Group Demonstrations & Individual Tournament!
We cordially invite all Tai Chi and Wushu teams to participate! Showcase your team’s spirit, preserve our cultural heritage, and unite our community.

We look forward to practicing with you on March 21st!

📍 Venue: Barfoot & Thompson Stadium, Auckland

[Invitation] Amplify the Asian Voice: Consultation on the Draft Carers' Strategy Action Plan
Dear Community Members,
Are you providing unpaid care for an elderly parent, a family member with a disability, or a loved one with a chronic illness? According to the latest census, there are nearly 500,000 carers in Aotearoa New Zealand just like you. Your dedication is invaluable and deserves formal recognition and support from the Government.
Currently, the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) is developing a new Carers' Strategy Action Plan. This plan will directly shape government policies over the coming years regarding financial security, carer wellbeing, and social recognition.
The Asian Community Engagement Trust (ACET) has been invited to facilitate a dedicated online session specifically for Asian carers. This is a vital opportunity for you to share your lived experiences directly with policymakers, particularly regarding linguistic barriers and the practical challenges faced by Asian families.

* Date & Time: Tuesday, 10 February 2026, 10:00 am – 11:30 am
* Platform: Online (Microsoft Teams)
* Capacity: Limited to 10 participants (Asian informal/unpaid carers)

[Regarding Linguistic Support] If you wish to participate but have concerns regarding language barriers, please inform us upon registration. ACET will advocate for necessary linguistic support (such as official Chinese translation) from MSD based on the needs identified to ensure your voice is heard effectively.
[How to Register] Due to limited spaces, please register your interest by Wednesday, 4 February. Please include: your name, contact details, and whether you require Chinese translation support.
1. By Email: [email protected]
2. By DM: ACET黑板报
Further Enquiries: You may contact us via the email above or DM "ACET Noticeboard" to request the detailed Discussion Documents (English version).
Sincerely,
Asian Community Engagement Trust (ACET)

Conquer Anxiety: Learn how to leverage AI as a powerful tool to enhance your professional competitiveness.

Solve Pain Points: Master practical AI skills for job searching, learning, work, emotional support, and legal information retrieval.
