Mō Āpōpō Future-Makers
A futures-thinking kit built by Māori, for young people in Aotearoa
The Kit.
Year 7-10 ākonga: Step into Te Korekoreka, a future-making kawa developed by Tokona te Raki, the Ngāi Tahu social innovation lab. Choose one of four Challenge Packs (te reo Māori, food, communities, or being healthy) and work through a rich set of non-fiction oral and visual texts. Take roles in structured discussion. Refine a vision statement through evidence. Map the forces working for and against the future you want. Walk backwards through time to a 90th birthday party. Run four rapid ideation rounds. Debate ideas head to head. Land on three commitments. Now. Next. Later.
