Tēnā koutou katoa,
Are you rangatahi Māori aged 18-25yrs and have the potential to be a great leader?
The Tuia programme is an intergenerational approach to developing and enhancing how our young Māori contribute to communities throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Hastings District Council have been proud supporters of this programme and wish to continue the mahi helping our rangatahi weave strong connectivity with the past, present and future; to self; and to people, place and environment.
