Tāneatua 2021

Over 140 students from 22 schools across the Waiariki Region convened in Taneātua for this year’s Leadership Summit, focusing on sustainability through a Māori worldview. Rangatahi had the privilege of hearing from four distinguished leaders who shared their journeys and passions in Te Taiao (The Natural World), Te Ao Torangapū (The political realm), Te Ao Hangarau (Technology), and Te Auahatanga (Innovation/Creativity).

Guest speakers, including Te Kuru Dewes, Waimirirangi Ormsby, Jack Tai Poa, and Nikki Kennedy, presented challenges for rangatahi to tackle, inspiring them to seek solutions. Divided into groups, participants utilized a Design Thinking approach learned from the Kia Mau Team, drawing on the attributes of Māui to unlock innovative solutions. Through collaboration and creativity, rangatahi rose to the challenge, presenting their ideas to the audience with enthusiasm and determination. As Ariana Poihipi-Black from Te Wharekura o Mauao reflects, these initiatives provide invaluable opportunities for rangatahi to expand their horizons and contribute positively to their communities.
