He Kāhui Mano | Tribal Summit : Activating a Community-Led Circular Economy

He Kāhui Mano is a three-day think-space to redefine our future through a kaupapa-driven circular economy, to build whānau, hapū, and community resilience. 

​TRIBAL SUMMIT FOCUS
Our focus is on highlighting solutions to tackle community-level challenges and to contribute to global change. Importantly we aim to celebrate our whanaungātanga and support a safe space to wānanga with others and explore:

1. Is circularity an appropriate expression of our values as Māori?
2. A means to an end... how does circularity stack up building a kaupapa-driven Tribal economy? 
3. How do we unlock the economic potential of a Taiao-positive, circular economy?

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

We extend a warm welcome to those who share whakapapa to ngā Iwi o Taranaki, and to wider whanau and hapū networks around the motu to attend our Tribal Summit. We encourage pakeke and rangatahi who are passionate about the interconnected kaupapa of revitalising Te Taiao, community-led change, indigenous entrepreneurship, systems thinking and Tribal economic development as essential components on our quest to reclaim our mana motuhake. 

​WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

We have organised a programme where you will have the opportunity to kōrero with others and reflect on an array of thought-provoking presenters,  and accelerator sessions to do a deeper dive into three design-driven Circular Economy principles:

​1) Resource Recovery (to eliminate waste and pollution)

2) Circular Business (Circulating products and materials at their highest value)

3) Regenerating te Taiao

Day One

Masterclass to Reimagine Our Future: A Circular Vision for local communities

Change does not happen in isolation.
It requires us to work together beyond tribal and geographic boundaries, demanding collaboration from diverse stakeholders, communities and organisations.
Join our community-wide Masterclass to explore ways to support the transition to a more circular future and community-led change.

DAY ONE VENUE : THE DEVON HOTEL, Devon Street, New Plymouth

Days Two and Three

Tribal Summit: Activating a Community-Led Circular Economy

We view the revitalisation of the mana and mauri of Te Taiao as the cornerstone of community-driven progress. This entails more than just our enduring responsibility as kaitiaki across generations; it also embodies the aspirations of our whānau and hapū, uniting us with our heritage, our present, and our future.

Over two days indigenous participants will be able to hear from leading experts and participate in small accelerator sessions across the Summit themes: Resource Recovery (Zero Waste), Indigenous Circular Business and Regenerating te Taiao.
