  • Mātauranga | Ara Taiohi

    Mātauranga With young people, we are empowered by rich and diverse mātauranga that encompasses good knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Mātauranga refers to knowledge, wisdom, understanding and skill. It includes research, individual experience, customary and cultural knowledge, and the beliefs and ideals held by young people and their whānau. Good information is useful, timely, meaningful, honours indigenous thinking, evidence based and translated for the recipient to reflect on. We can strengthen mātauranga by weaving together these different forms of knowledge and making them relevant to the decisions facing young people and their whānau. Being empowered by rich and diverse mātauranga informs both young people and people who work with young people towards personal growth. Young people actively participate in making meaning of information and are supported to holistically make positive choices for them, and their whānau. People who work with young people are supported to actively reflect on their relationships and practice Mana Taiohi with JJ and Arohauni Mātauranga in Practice: Kaupapa Māori Frameworks in Ngā Tikanga Whānaketanga – He Arotake Tuhinga In this expert from Kaiparahuarahi (Vol.1, No.2), Dr Elizabeth Kerekere, Dr Kelsey Deane, and Hilary Dutton explore the concept of Mātauranga.

  • Lloyd (Doc) Martin | Ara Taiohi

    < Back Lloyd (Doc) Martin Code of Ethics Facilitator Now based in the Hawkes Bay, I provide supervision and facilitate workshops around the motu in ethics and youth development for youth workers, community educators, and anyone whose mahi impacts young people. My special interest is the intersection between youth development and education, how these are affected by trauma, and what it takes to re-engage youth. I have recently completed a doctorate which involved listening to young people’s experiences of AE and of the people who work with them in those settings. I use practical and interactive approaches in my teaching, and am comfortable working within te ao Māori contexts. More info at my website: https://www.newseason.nz Lloyd@newseason.nz

  • Youth Led Events | Ara Taiohi

    Youth Led Events Youth-led events are what make Youth Week come alive. Every year, rangatahi around Aotearoa dream up and run their own celebrations - stuff that reflects who they are and what they care about. We’ve seen everything from epic, once-in-a-lifetime experiences to chill hangouts and sharing kai with the community. Whatever it looks like, Youth Week hits different when it’s led by young people your young people, and that energy is what makes the festival of events so special. Want to build your leadership skills & be part of a team that plans a Youth Week event? Planning a Youth Week event starts with figuring out what you and your crew care about. Think about the kind of vibe you want - something creative, something active, something chill, something that brings people together, or something that uses your voice to spark change. So where do you start? Your idea: What’s the purpose? What do you want people to feel or experience? Your people: Who’s helping? Who’s coming along? Your place: Where will it happen? Your plan: What do you need to make it happen? Think about gear, support, funding, food, music, and transport? Your backup: Who’s there to support you? Is there a youth worker, school, community group, council, or local organisation that can help you with the logistics? Although anyone can run a Youth Week event, we’ve got a small pool of funding available to help support some events. It’s there to give your idea a bit of a boost - maybe to cover some materials, kai, or the basics you need to get things rolling. Huge thanks to the Ministry of Youth Development, Sport NZ, and Te Rourou Foundation for making this possible. Youth Week Grants
