Pou Tūhono Network
These hui are still a work in progress and we are looking at how we can best offer ongoing support to this rōpū. However, our initial hui have shown that Māori youth workers are keen for more whanaungatanga, information sharing, supporting tangata whenua who may be isolated in their organisation, upskilling in Te Ao Māori and also helping Pakehā to advocate for Māori.
