Congratulations to Brooklyn Galbraith who was selected to participate in the inaugural Taiohi Summit, held at Lincoln University from 5-18 November with more than 150 young Māori, aged 16-24, participating in the event.
Over four days, Māori rangatahi engaged in work streams aimed at activating them in the following topics: sport and recreation, mahinga kai, putaiao (science and technology), pakihi (Māori business), ‘Am I Māori enough?’, and whānau ora.
Quarterly regional hui led by local stakeholders as well as online engagement, enabled the young people to work on identified priorities from the hui and look at opportunities to lead and implement them locally. This allowed for a regional approach that is tailored to the regional resources available to taiohi while drawing on national resources where available.
This opportunity offered through Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu has provided motivation and inspiration to Brooklyn - we congratulate him on his efforts and achievement and look forward to hearing more about his experience.
