Practice Foundations: Te Tokotoru

With Angie Tangaere

Te Tokotoru is a systems approach to wellbeing, developed alongside whānau and rangatahi. It provides a different starting point for designing and investing in equity and intergenerational wellbeing. It is being used in different government settings like Te Aorerekura to enable a shift towards strengthening and healing. This session will share some of the origins of Te Tokotoru and the principles it represents, what we are learning about the kinds of conversations and shifts in thinking it can help support, and provide opportunities to explore what this means in your own context.

Practice Foundations is a monthly public sector community of practice event hosted online by the Auckland Co-design Lab in collaboration. We have a shared interest in promoting and prioritising ethical whānau-centred and led design and innovation practice and the active involvement of community, families, whānau, aiga and rangatahi in wellbeing, design, decision-making and leadership.
