Te ara taiohi whakatapua kia ora ai Youthline learnt the waiata ‘E minaka ana’ and shared a kai of hangi and steam pudding. All week we had different activities to engage with te reo Māori and the waiata was something we wanted to do as a rōpū but also share with our wider whānau across Aotearoa. Kia kaha te Reo Māori!

I was drawn to Te Ara Taiohi Whakatapua Kia Ora Ai Youthline as an organization to mahi with as I felt their deep understanding of the importance inclusion and diversity plays in supporting positive outcomes for youth mental health and wellbeing. As just one small dot of a growing collective, I am here to embrace and enhance my own Te Reo Māori journey, and collaboratively support others as we take this journey together - Nā to rourou, nā taku rourou, ka ora ai te iwi

My why is to reclaim and celebrate the language that my nana was not allowed to speak. This is such an important kaupapa and I will represent it proudly.

Morgan

Kia ora, I advocate for diversity and inclusion, and it is an honour to be a part of an organisation that embraces that. Utilising Te Reo in our everyday language brings a sense of culture, heritage, and peace that I very much enjoy and like to continue contributing to. Learning comes with practice and awareness and there is so much for us as a country to learn and grow in that space :)

Te Reo Māori is the indigenous language of Aotearoa. Te Tiriti o Waitangi and international human rights preserve the right to language. Te Reo Māori is one of Aotearoa's three official languages. Our papa's education thesis many years ago, was about how Te Reo Māori should be taught in schools. Fast forward a few years and I was deeply enriched from the opportunity of learning Te Reo Māori at school, connecting with wonderful kaiako and being immersed in Te Ao Māori. At Te Ara Taiohi Whakatapua Kia Ora Ai Youthline we know only too well that identity is a vital component of positive youth mental health and wellbeing, And besides, Te Reo Māori is tino ātaahua:)
