Aotearoa Creative

Once again. A cool person doing cool stuff :) Bernice Mene is an athlete, teacher and former Silver Fern Netball Captain. She is currently running a kaupapa called the Pinnacle programme. Which is a unique mentoring programme for passionate teens between 15- 18yrs old. Hope you enjoy it :)

Here is another example of cool people doing cool and exciting things. Kiri Dell is a poet, blogger and scholar whose research looks at why Maori struggle to realise their whenua aspirations, while also being interested in entrepreneurship and strategy. Enjoy :)

Lee Timutimu is the founder of Te Reo Wainene o Tua. A Māori story telling initiative. In 2010 he applied for funding for an initiative that would encourage the art form and medium of traditional Māori storytelling. The basis was simple, Māori is primarily an oral language. Generations of history, tradition, knowledge and understanding have been passed down to us through our natural ability to captivate an audience through the poetic flow of traditional Māori reo (language). Since then TRWOT has been going strong. Here is its story. Enjoy :)
