RANGATAHI
Rangatahi are the future of Waikato-
Tainui. They are our succession plan and
it is in all our interests to ensure that the
leaders of tomorrow are being nurtured
and prepared.
This is the whakaaro behind the support we give
to rangatahi initiatives. In 2013 participants at our
biennial Rangatahi Summit were invited to identify
ways in which Waikato-Tainui could improve the
wellbeing of our young people and how to involve
them in rangatahi development and tribal activities.
Suggestions included holding annual rangatahi
events, encouraging participation at poukai,
establishing a youth facility, and supporting their
reo Maaori uptake.
Since then leadership waananga and school
holiday programmes have been held, a dedicated
rangatahi space has been made available at all
poukai, discussions are continuing regarding a
potential dedicated facility at Hopuhopu, a booklet
promoting reo Maaori has been produced, and
communication with rangatahi via social media
and internet technology has been increased.
