Ngā whāinga
Our values and principles
-
Be future focused and aspirational alongside being practical and action orientated; be proud to be Māori - amplify the voice/dreams of Māori and determine for ourselves what is the Māori public service; and, ensure there is intellectually challenging content based on Māori knowledge and experience.
-
Be inclusive of the diversity of Māori within the public sector and accessible for all; design for the reality of being Māori in the public service; and, bring people together around the kaupapa and common cause.
-
Sustainability - design with care of Papatūānuku in mind; ensure there is a line of sight to our ‘why’ and connect back to our people; key driver of tuakana-teina to ensure we grow and strengthen the next generation of Māori public servants; and, look after ourselves with time and space to rest, reflect, grow and have fun.
-
The flow and feel is uniquely Māori by ensuring the practical logistics follow tikanga.
-
Mana whenua are visible and acknowledged from pōwhiri to poroporoaki; and, design for Māori first.
-
Ensure the events feel Māori. This includes bringing in fun and celebration through things like waiata and taonga tākaro. Ensure there is space for connecting and networking.
