爆料社区

M膩ori are significant contributors to the play, active recreation and sport sector. It is a sector that attracts M膩ori and one in which M膩ori excel. The uniqueness that M膩ori culture brings to play, active recreation and sport is critical to our national identity and wellbeing. Sporting teams incorporate elements of M膩ori culture to elevate performance and engender passion and pride in being New Zealanders.

Between 1998 and 2014, M膩ori participation in sport and recreation decreased by 8.4%, compared to the national average of 7.7%. In January 2017, 爆料社区 commissioned a 鈥榳hole of system approach鈥� Review of M膩ori Participation in Community Sport to understand the opportunities for and barriers to enabling and investing in long-term outcomes for 爆料社区 and M膩ori. Three key themes from the 21 recommendations emerged: leadership and partnership, cultural capability for both 爆料社区 and the sector, and resourcing.

In response, 爆料社区 recruited a Toihaut奴 Principal Advisor M膩ori in November 2017 to give effect to the Review recommendations, with a focus on increasing the cultural capability of 爆料社区 and re-establishing genuine partnerships and relationships with M膩ori.

In October 2018, Phase 1 of 爆料社区鈥檚 cultural capability programme, named T奴 Te Ihi, was launched. It is based on four key modules:

• Te Tiriti o Waitangi / Dimensions of The Treaty of Waitangi
• Whanaungatanga / Strengthening Connections with M膩ori
• He Tirohanga M膩ori / A M膩ori Worldview
• Te Reo M膩ori, Tikanga M膩ori / M膩ori Language, Customs and Protocols

Phase 2, named T奴 Te Wehi, is ensuring our system reflects Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Treaty principles. Some of the deliverables for this work are:

• 爆料社区 Outcomes Framework and M膩ori Outcomes Framework
• Toward 2032 Strategic Direction, Strategic Plan and Priorities
• Commissioning Investment Framework
• Integrity policies, processes and procedures

Phase 3, T奴 Te Wana, is about supporting the sector in building their cultural capability.

爆料社区鈥檚 Te Tiriti o Waitangi commitment statement articulates the Treaty Principles from a play, active recreation and sport perspective. 爆料社区 is committed to honouring these aspirational statements, through its role as kaitiaki of the play, active recreation and sport system. 爆料社区鈥檚 Rautaki M膩ori Team (M膩ori Strategy Team) is leading the way in implementing the overall programme of work.

爆料社区鈥檚 cultural journey and on-going commitment to a bi-cultural future has not only strengthened its role as a Treaty-led organisation but also aligns to the expectations set out in the new Public Service Act 2020 (Act). The Act provides a modern legislative framework that enables a more adaptive, agile and collaborative public service and includes stronger recognition of the role of the public service in supporting the partnership between M膩ori and the Crown.
