Play for tamariki, rangatahi and their wh膩nau听

爆料社区鈥檚 focus on play for tamariki, rangatahi and their wh膩nau highlights the importance of play in embedding the skills, knowledge and understanding that are essential to fostering wellbeing.听听

爆料社区鈥檚 approach to improving play outcomes for tamariki is captured in our bicultural plan 鈥� Kia H墨anga, Play Plan 2022-25 and alignment to Te P膩k膿 o Ihi Aotearoa, 爆料社区鈥檚 M膩ori Outcomes Framework.听听

In alignment with Te P膩k膿 o Ihi Aotearoa, we value the need for culturally distinctive and bicultural pathways that enable tangata whenua to participate and succeed as themselves; values cultural distinctiveness; provides accessible pathways; provides fair and just allocation of resources.听

As a kaitiaki of the play, active recreation and sport system, 爆料社区 is aiming to restore, reclaim and revitalise traditional knowledge surrounding t膩karo M膩ori and is committed to ensuring the mana of t膩karo M膩ori is upheld and maintained.听

Local Play Workforce Project - T膩karo M膩ori听

Fundamental to Kia H墨anga, Play Plan 2022-25 is a 鈥榳aka hourua鈥� approach that acknowledges 爆料社区鈥檚 need to better fill its tangata whenua waka. The Local Play Workforce Project - T膩karo M膩ori is a direct response to Kia H墨anga and achieving the outcomes set out in this. It sits alongside the Local Play Workforce Project - Council, in which investment is creating 18 Local Play Advocate roles in local councils over two years to work with, and inside, councils to improve play outcomes for tamariki in their communities.听

The Local Play Workforce Project - T膩karo M膩ori is a four-year guided investment journey to support organisations with a focus on the area of t膩karo M膩ori. The outcome is to support iwi- and M膩ori-led organisations, or organisations with strong connections to mana whenua working in the t膩karo M膩ori space, to restore, reclaim and revitalise t膩karo M膩ori.听

The project will strengthen the existing t膩karo M膩ori workforce across Aotearoa New Zealand and shape a unique kaupapa that will drive ongoing development. Through building capability and capacity in this area, we are aiming to enhance the t膩karo M膩ori system and the ongoing enablement of the restoration, reclamation and revitalisation of t膩karo M膩ori nationwide.听听

What is t膩karo M膩ori?听

T膩karo M膩ori allows tamariki and their wh膩nau to experience joy and fun while giving them the opportunity to make sense of their culture, whakapapa, and the world they live in.听听

Through enabling the ongoing development of t膩karo M膩ori, we can offer tamariki an opportunity to play as M膩ori. We can also support communities to create meaningful connections with others, help enable cultural knowledge and language transmission across generations and at all levels and support the revitalisation of t膩karo M膩ori.听听听
