Transforming active recreation for rangatahi in Aotearoa
Programme Outline
The partnership between Ara Taiohi and Sport NZ Ihi Aotearoa was grounded in the principles of Mana Taiohi. Working together, we used the principles as a foundation to develop the Active Recreation for Rangatahi Plan (the Plan) 2021 – 2024.
Ara Taiohi and Sport New Zealand share a deep commitment to supporting the wellbeing of rangatahi in Aotearoa. We know that being physically active, and participating in positive youth development programmes that are informed by Te Ao Māori, increases young people’s wellbeing. The Sport NZ/Ara Taiohi partnership has allowed us to explore the potential of weaving these ingredients together and the positive impact this can have on young people.
