Te Mana o Te Wai Training Programme
Changes are happening left, right and centre. Our taiao is under the pump, feeling the heat from policy shifts, development surges, and climate change.
Poipoia are offering an introductory Te Mana o te Wai Training Programme to provide hapū and iwi with access to resources and tools to support their freshwater outcomes.
The training is delivered at an introductory level to provide a foundation for hapū and iwi to determine what Te Mana o te Wai looks like for us within our rohe.
30 spots available so if you are interested please register here.
Full day wānanga, 16 October 2024.
Activating kaitiakitanga - freshwater rōpū
Now, we reckon this could be a good chance to rally our troops. To bring together the thinkers and the do-ers of Tapuika Iwi and hapū, ngā ringa raupā. To form a united front and work out some solutions for the future of Tapuika wai.
He aha ngā whakaaro mō te wai kei roto o te Takapū nei?
How about a freshwater/wai māori ‘technical working group’ or rōpū? A forum to swap kōrero, share knowledge, and upskill on all things Tapuika waters? Being an active and guiding voice for Tapuika iwi, your own hapū, and even work Tapuika Iwi Authority carries out for the betterment of the Takapū?
TIA would love to hear if you are interested in something like this, or of any other ideas for activating kaitiakitanga in the Takapū around freshwater.
