“Kia mau ki Te Aho Tū Roa! Whiria mai ō kōrero, ōu ake pūmanawa, tōu ake aho. Whiria kia ū, whiria kia tū roa ai mō ngā uri whakatupu. Tihei mauri ora!”
Take hold of Te Aho Tū Roa! Weave in your stories, your talents, your threads.
Weave them firm so they can sustain the generations ahead.
Using action and performance as the vehicle, fuelled by the power of story, rangatahi will explore their connections to their stories, history, community and place and bring it all together at Te Aho Tū Roa – Kōtuia!, the first ever national youth-teaching-youth ‘Jam’ event for rangatahi Māori (age 13+) to be held 1-5 September 2010.
At the moment Hui ā-Rohe, regional cluster events, are taking place where students from participating kura are getting together to experience the power of unity through connection to the kaupapa, and to develop their stories into performances that will be shared at the Te Aho Tū Roa Jam.
Follow Te Rawhitiroa and his team on their journey in facilitating and bringing this kaupapa alive on his Vodafone World of Difference blog http://foundation.vodafone.co.nz/author/te-rawhitiroa-bosch

There will be keynote presentations envisioning sustainability in major sectors of New Zealand society, and other presentations on specific 'signs of change'.
The conference will showcase low-carbon conferencing techniques by using high definition video links between six main centres, Christchurch, Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington and Dunedin. It will be an opportunity for people to meet with like-minded others locally, and connect nationally for discussion and debate.
