🌿 Te Ara Taiao collaboration and connection to whenua πŸ”οΈ

🦜 Korihi mai te manu, tākiri mai te ata, ka ao, ka ao, ka awatea!
πŸŒ„ The birds at dawn reconnect us to our natural world and a sense of hope.

Similarly, the Te Ara Taiao programme looks to the future by collaborating with schools, environmental leaders, hapΕ« and iwi to empower young leaders in the Taiao. β€œIt’s about learning to connect to nature in its many forms. The programme focuses on supporting student leaders, teacher development, and being part of a community of kaimahi working together,” says Tane Manukonga, Kaiwhakahaere/Regional Manager of Te Ara Taiao.
