Mahi a te Rehia

Mahi a te Rehia is an action plan for a tamariki/rangatahi holiday programme in Harataunga. It has been developed by Te Roopu Tautoko and the whānau of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Harataunga. The aim of this programme is to create employment and develop local skillsets but most of all we just want our tāmariki and taiohi to have fun. Harataunga is an awesome place for whānau to come back to. Mahi a te Rehia is about celebrating our identity, getting to know one another and strengthening relationships with our whānau and whanaunga in the wider Harataunga community.

"Identifying Hip Hop as a priority for youth triggered a nationwide search for positive mentorship programmes that could be delivered in this community. This led to the Global Education Centre Youth Development Programme and discussions about running a shortened, introductory version of The Next – a positive mentorship programme for youth which uses Hip Hop as the medium for delivery."
