SUMMARY:Toi Ako Webinar: Disrupting mainstream discourses with a wairua centered approach
DESCRIPTION:South Auckland has the largest Māori population in the world. Imagine if Māori: \n\nMobilised a collective voice for change\nLead discussions at decision making tables\, at all levels across the system\nPioneered indigenous leadership for social change\, locally\, nationally and globally\n\n  \nIn this free webinar\, Mason Ngawhika\, Nikki Timu and Anaru Ah Kew from Healthy Families Manukau\, Manurewa-Papakura\, will demonstrate how they have provided the tools in support of localised Māori systems\, which leverage ancestral practices to inform community-led solutions. They look to shift the focus from a human centred approach to a wairua centred approach that places the environment at the heart as an alternative to mainstream ideologies. \nThrough Māori systems the team aims to empower communities to return to a place of understanding\, being observant and using Te Taiao (the natural environment) as well as Te Taiao Tangata (the built environment) to restore the natural balance and reciprocal relationship between manaaki whenua and manaaki tangata. This supports the notion that when the whenua is cared for\, people are naturally ‘well’. \n“Ko te awa ko au\, ko au ko te awa” \nThe aim of this webinar is to: \n\nChallenge dominant mainstream discourses which rely solely on Western science or Western health approaches to alleviate the burden of disease and degradation of our natural environment.\nEncourage ways for Māori to move from being victims of change\, to drivers of change through crafting solutions which enable Māori to adapt and thrive in a constantly changing climate and social system.\nShowcase design thinking practices which reframe the paradigm of thinking to a wairua centred approach\, which has an emphasis on the ecosystem rather than an ego-system.\n\nAbout the Presenters\n \nMason Ngawhika (Te Arawa\, Ngai Tahu) is the Kaiārahi Māori or the Māori Responsiveness Manager at Healthy Families Manukau\, Manurewa-Papakura.Mason has a background in nutrition and public health. In the past Mason has worked for the Auckland Regional Public Health Service\, Hāpai te Hauora and Toi Tangata. \n \nAnaru Ah Kew (Ngāti Hikairo\, Ngāti Whawhakia\, Kai Tahu) is the Kaiwhakaauaha Pūnaha in the Māori Responsiveness team at Healthy Families Manukau\, Manurewa-Papakura.Anaru has a background in Māori mental health where he was responsible for embedding health initiatives within the organisation\, focussing on improving health outcomes for Tangata Whaiora. \n  \n \nNikki Timu (Ngāti Ranginui\, Ngāti Kahungunu\, Whakatohea) is the Lead Systems Innovator at Healthy Families Manukau\, Manurewa-Papakura. She holds portfolios in the sport\, physical activity and education spaces with a focus on Māori and indigenous people.Nikki has a background in tertiary education\, as an academic in both sport and health contexts. She has recently completed a Master of Physical Education through the University of Otago exploring Māori perspectives on haka in sport. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Maramataka in the Workplace Wānanga
DESCRIPTION:An empowering and informative wānanga to help you learn how to use the Māori systems framework of maramataka in the workplace. \nMaramataka first began as a Māori system of awareness of the natural environment and its potential abundance. It comprises thousands of years of observations and knowledge and is the science of the moon energies. \nTraditionally\, Māori used it to improve their fishing\, hunting and gardening practices but maramataka can be applied to all aspects of life and is viewed as a taonga from our ancestors. \nThis maramataka planning wānanga is for kaimahi working in hauora & community development. It is designed to be empowering and informative and is an opportunity for you to learn from experts with over 30 years’ experience. \nThe time of Hotoke (winter) is the best time to whai whakaaro (create a vision)\, whakatikahia (review) and whakatakoto kaupapa (strategy). During this wānanga you will learn how to use the Māori systems framework of maramataka Māori to greater enhance your productivity and work/life balance. \nYou will also be guided on how best to plan out your next 12 months of business operations using maramataka Māori and consider the right actions to undertake at the right times\, referring to Ngā Peka o te Tau (the seasons) and Ngā Wahanga o te Marama (energy phases of the moon). This will contribute to effective stakeholder engagement\, community consultation\, team leadership\, event management and the delivery of services to meet tangible deadlines. \nYou will learn how to use the maramataka and Nga Peka o te Tau as reference points for effective planning\, delivery and measurement of your organisations goals. \nYou will examine Ngā Tohu o te Tangata and consider if your organisation is delivering its services at the right time\, ie do you close for summer break when your clients need you the most? \nMaramataka practitioners\, Reuben and Heeni\, will cover mātauranga Māori divisions of time\, space and energy and challenge you to consider if you are in sync with the environment and support you to realign with the natural phases towards productivity (kia puta ngā hua). \n**BONUS** \nYou will also receive a maramataka Māori wall planner\, a great tool to help you observe\, plan and action your mahi. \nAbout the facilitators \nRueben Taipari and Heeni Hoterene are practitioners of maramataka Māori and take a practical approach to ‘living by the maramataka.’ Rueben uses the maramataka that his whanau has always used\, handed down through the generations\, for planting and fishing on their ancestral lands in Ahipara. Over 20 years ago he designed a unique colour coded system as a guide for planning by the maramataka. Heeni and Rueben have now been delivering maramataka workshops for over 15 years\, working with whanau\, community\, educators\, and the health and environment sectors. They are committed to mana Māori motuhake and view maramataka as a kaupapa that helps whanau to realign themselves with the natural cycles of Aotearoa\, reclaiming their time\, space and energy through actioning mātauranga Māori.

SUMMARY:Toi Ako: The Ola Ora Journey: Navigating Digital Health and Wellbeing Platforms and Mātauranga Māori
DESCRIPTION:The Ol@-Or@ research project\, initially called the Welltext project\, aims to create an intervention tool to reduce the risk of heart disease\, obesity and diabetes in Māori and Pacific Islanders. \nFunded by the Healthier Lives He Oranga Hauora National Science Challenge\, the study works in partnership with Māori and Pasifika communities (with the target age group of 18 years or older) to create and design a mobile health lifestyle support programme (mHealth Tool). \nIn this panel webinar\, the team looks at the development and exploration of the Ol@/Or@ mobile health tool. Join them as they share the lessons learned and their application within this research project and extend our collective understanding of the contribution that mātauranga Māori can make to contemporary nutrition and physical activity movements. \nThe panel will take participants through the Mahi Auaha design process and stimulate the creative platforms that are possible through co-design approaches. The navigation of one’s hauora journey is never a one size fits all approach. Through their involvement in this challenge they offer insights around the application of Mahi Auaha (Co-Design) which enables health providers and community champions to gain a better understanding of community health needs and service delivery improvements for the user. \nFollow the journey into this emergent space and learn about the strengths and challenges of utilising digital platforms to improve health and wellbeing. Digital platforms may offer an equal and reciprocal relationship between professionals and the core economy (family\, neighbourhood and community)\, shifting the balance of power\, responsibility and resources to a more mutually beneficial situation across a range of settings (Sanders & Stappers\, 2008). \nFrom the creation of a new service to improving existing one’s\, Mahi Auaha\, underpinned by kaupapa Māori\, has an exciting and innovative role in shaping approaches to health and wellbeing in Aotearoa. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Pink Shirt Day
DESCRIPTION:Pink Shirt Day is about working together to stop bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting positive social relationships.\nIt’s about creating a community where all people feel safe\, valued and respected\, regardless of age\, sex\, gender identity\, sexual orientation\, ability\, or cultural background.\n  \nOn Pink Shirt Day we ask New Zealanders to Speak up and Stand together to Stop bullying. \nCelebrated annually around the globe\, Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students\, David Shepherd and Travis Price\, took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new year 10 student was harassed and threatened for wearing pink. David and Travis bought dozens of pink shirts and distributed them to their male classmates to wear the next day. The word got out online and hundreds of students showed up in pink\, some from head-to-toe\, to stand together against bullying. \nWe’ve been celebrating Pink Shirt Day in New Zealand since 2009 and the campaign grows stronger and larger every year. \nPink Shirt Day is led by the Mental Health Foundation\, with support from: The Peace Foundation\, RainbowYOUTH\, InsideOUT\, New Zealand Post Primary Teachers’ Association\, Youthline and Family Works. \nWhat does Speak up. Stand together. Stop bullying mean?\nSpeak up\nGiving voice to a problem is the first step towards addressing it. Having conversations with your friends\, family\, whānau\, children\, parents\, teachers\, students and wider communities is a great way to come up with ideas and strategies to address bullying. Speaking up is also about asking for help when you need it. This can be scary\, and sometimes the first person you ask can’t or won’t do anything to help you. Keep asking. Pink Shirt Day shows there are many people who care about supporting you. \nStand together\nBullying behaviour is influenced by the actions and values of friends\, families and whānau\, schools\, workplaces and whole communities. Real change happens when we stand together\, sending a strong message that there is no place for bullying in New Zealand. Bullying often makes people feel alone\, but Pink Shirt Day shows that many people care. Many people want to play their part in making New Zealand a safe\, welcoming and respectful place for everyone\, regardless of age\, sex\, gender identity\, sexual orientation\, ability\, or cultural background. \nStop bullying\nOn Pink Shirt Day\, look out on the sea of pink and know that together we can stop bullying. \n \n

SUMMARY:Toi Ako Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Weighing in on Weightism: Does a weight focused approach align with the Māori view of health?\nBecause of the association between body weight and many chronic and metabolic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes\, weight and other weight or body fat-related measurements such as BMI (body mass index) or waist circumference are commonly used to screen and assess health risks. \nWeight loss is now linked with health\, happiness\, and will power\, while over-weight or obese is linked to ‘unhealthy’\, poor choices\, and a lack of will power. Our modern fascination for weight loss has led to stigma of those who are overweight or obese\, and considering Māori are among those with the highest prevalence of ‘overweight’ and ‘obesity’\, the line between ‘weight-ism’ and racism can become somewhat blurred. \nThere is a massive amount of research linking BMI\, weight\, and waist circumference\, to diabetes\, heart disease and other aspects of poor health\, so aren’t we justified in waging a ‘war on obesity’? Although this association is well established\, whether increased weight (or even fat) is actually the ‘cause’ of these lifestyle illnesses is less clear. What’s more\, many studies have shown that weight loss is extremely difficult and nearly impossible for some people\, while others have shown that healthy habits like regular physical activity can improve health even when no weight is lost. \nNevertheless\, the commercialisation of weight loss continues to drive a news feed full of before and after pictures\, and new weight loss product after new weight loss product. \nFor Māori\, who have highlighted holistic views of health relating to whenua\, whakapapa\, wairua\, hinengaro and whānau (as well as tinana)\, a weight focused approach to health or illness does not necessarily align with ‘our’ way of viewing health. Accordingly\, there has been a swell of initiatives drawing on traditional knowledge and cultural values to drive health promotion in Aotearoa. This is particularly apparent within various physical activity initiatives where the connection to whakapapa\, and traditional knowledge and values\, have become the driver for lifestyle change. \nYet\, despite these movements\, the outcome measures used to assess such initiatives almost always default to some weight-related measure\, whether weight itself or BMI. Decolonising health initiatives and the outcome measures which shape them may be necessary to achieving health equity and ensuring a ‘war on obesity’ isn’t just another justification for a ‘war’ on Māori. \nAbout the presenter\nDr Isaac Warbrick\nSenior Research Fellow @AUT University\nDr Isaac Warbrick (Ngāti Te Ata\, Te Arawa\, Ngā Puhi) is an exercise physiologist\, Senior Research Fellow and Director of Taupua Waiora Centre for Māori Health Research. His most recent publications have questioned whether ‘weight’ and ‘weight loss’ are appropriate ‘health’ measures for Māori\, suggesting that outcome measures should better reflect cultural values. \nView Here

Looking at the concepts of whakapapa and mātauranga Māori\, participants will gain valuable insights around: \n\nThe practical application of analysing a system within a community. \nGaining an understanding of systems science from a health perspective.\nExamining the kaupapa Māori planning tool\, He Pikinga Waiora\, which uses systems thinking as part of its framework and has indigenous self-determination at its core.\nLooking at a local intervention that has utilised systems thinking in its development and implementation phases.\n\nFacilitated by Erina Korohina and Zaynel Sushil\, participants will have the opportunity to learn\, share and connect around systems based thinking through a mātauranga Māori lens. \nWhat is systems science?\nSystems science comes from engineering and science methodologies and is a way of considering the whole as well as all of the parts. When thinking about nutrition and wellbeing\, Prof Boyd Swinburn considers this to mean looking at the enabling environment for nutrition improvement as well as health behaviour and biological factors. (Food Thinkers\, 2017). \nFrom this we can consider whakapapa which can be seen as a form of mapping genealogy. Dr Ihirangi Heke explains whakapapa as the organising system that arranges the various theoretical and practical concepts inherent in mātauranga Māori (Mātauranga Māori and Systems Dynamics\, 2017). \nWho is this for?\nThis training programme aims to support the Waikato health promotion kaimahi to better understand the basics of systems science\, Māori systems thinking from a whakapapa perspective and the practical application of analysing a system within a community.  \nToi Ako\nToi Ako is a part of Toi Tangata’s workforce development project.
