The Launch of Ōhanga Rearea
Advertisement
I am really proud to be (finally!) launching something very close to my heart — Ōhanga Rearea: a Takatāpui and Rainbow inclusion framework that has been years in the making.
This kaupapa is rooted in te ao Māori and has been co-designed with our communities across Aotearoa. It offers structure, support, and a strategic vision to people and organisations wanting to do better by takatāpui and rainbow communities — in ways that are grounded, relational, and aligned with Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
It is named after the small rearea bird (also known as the korimako), after I was inspired by the whakataukī 'itiiti rearea, teitei kahikatea ka taea — although the rearea bird is small, it can ascend the great heights of the kahikatea tree'.
Come along to this launch event to learn more about the rearea, its relationship with te ao Māori and to this framework. And connect with those interested in strengthening our approach to takatāpui and rainbow inclusion in organisations throughout Aotearoa.
A huge thank you to InsideOUT for providing us with a venue for this occasion.
📅 Wednesday 9th July @ 6pm
📍 InsideOUT Kōaro Office (InsideOUT Kōaro Wellington Office
Level 3 Anvil House, 138 Wakefield St.
Te Aro, Wellington).
🪶 Free to access at www.ohangarearea.org.
Haere mai — come as you are, and join the flight of the rearea.
