Hononga Taiohi

Hononga is about joining and connection.  Linked to whakapapa, it is about connection to people, land/whenua, resources, spirituality, the digital world and the environment.

 

When we understand hononga we recognise all the connected relationships in a young person’s world (whānau, peers, school, the community), and the places and spaces that support these. Young people are supported to identify and strengthen these connections. 

 

Strengthening hononga also means recognising the connection between the wellbeing of young people and the wellbeing of their social and natural environment.
