Rangatahi tü rangatira: Māori youth leadership in
Auckland
File No.: CP2014/26609
Purpose
1. To request
the Youth Advisory Panel to support the next phase of the Rangatahi tū
rangatira project.
Executive summary
2. I Am Auckland
identifies actions to build rangatahi leadership in Auckland, and to support
rangatahi to develop actions that will help all rangatahi in Tāmaki
Makaurau to thrive.
3. Youth
Advisory Panel members have supported the formation of the Foundation Rangatahi
Roopu. The Foundation Rangatahi Roopu has identified an appropriate kaupapa for
engaging with the council on matters of importance to rangatahi.
4. The
Foundation Rangatahi Roopu seeks the support of the Youth Advisory Panel to
continue with the project as part of the implementation of I Am Auckland.
5. The
Foundation Rangatahi Roopu wants to work inclusively with the Youth Advisory
Panel through a working party to guide the development aspects of the project.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Youth Advisory Panel:
a) endorse the
Rangatahi tū rangatira project as implementing the Goal 7 in I Am
Auckland
b) appoint a
working party to work with the Foundation Rangatahi Roopu on the
establishment of a Rangatahi Roopu for Tāmaki Makaurau.
|
Comments
6. Goal 7 in I Am Auckland promotes rangatahi leadership development
and working with rangatahi and tamariki to develop action. Goal 7 in I Am Auckland responds to feedback
received from young Māori from across Auckland during the development of
the Auckland Plan.
7. Since I Am
Auckland was adopted in September 2013, a cross-council support network has
been established to support the aspirations of I Am Auckland. The support
network agrees with a youth-led development approach in a similar way to how
the Foundation Youth Advisory Panel was developed. This youth-led development
approach is consistent with principles of Te Ao Māori.
8. There have
been numerous hui with the community and a foundation roopu of rangatahi have
been working together since Matariki 2014 to develop a new advisory Roopu made
up of rangatahi representing the voices of young Māori. A background
report prepared by the project team is provided in Attachment A.
9. The project
team has also developed a work plan that involves collaborating with the Youth
Advisory Panel (Attachment B). This work plan outlines the
actions for the Foundation Rangatahi Roopu over the next 8 months. The project
team would like to develop a strategic relationship with the Youth Advisory
Panel, through a working party, to guide the development aspects of the
project.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
10. Local boards have
not been consulted on this initiative. The representative model for the
Rangatahi Rōpu is still being developed by the foundation Roopu but is
likely to be modelled more closely on that used by the Independent Māori
Statutory Board.
Māori impact statement
11. The intended
impact of this project is to improve Māori outcomes in education, economic
development, cultural expression and leadership from young Māori aged up
to 25 years. The Rangatahi tu rangatira programme will enable young Māori
to participate in the development of policy, strategy, activities and services
that are led by the council.
Implementation
12. The Foundation
Rangatahi Roopu will commence engagement with mana whenua and mataawaka to
better understand intended impacts on Māori in Auckland.
13. The working
party will participate in key hui on outcomes from the engagement with mana
whenua and mataawaka and will be expected to inform the Youth Advisory Panel
about any issues and risks that are raised over the course of the project.
14. Working party
members will be expected to commit approximately four hours per month until
March 2015 when a final report is expected to be presented to the Youth
Advisory Panel. This report will outline the representative model, recruitment
and selection process and a kaupapa for the mahi that the new rōpu will be
responsible for undertaking.

Presentation from Youth Delegates on the LocalNZ
Workshop
File No.: CP2014/26574
Purpose
1. To provide Member
Sam Yoon and Youth Delegate Yanni Cowie with the opportunity to present on the
outcomes of the LocalNZ Connecting Youth Committed to Local Government
workshop.
Executive summary
2. Member Sam
Yoon and Youth Delegate Yanni Cowie were nominated by Councillor Cooper and
Councillor Clow to participate in the LocalNZ Connecting Youth Committed to
Local Government workshop held 16-19 November in Whanganui and Wellington. As
part of the nomination process, these two young people were invited to present
to the Youth Advisory Panel. Three other youth delegates from Auckland also
participated in the workshop.
3. LocalNZ
connected 30 young New Zealanders aged 18 to 25 and provided a collaborative
space for them to identify existing and emerging opportunities and challenges. Participants were
either members of youth councils or young people interested in local
government.
4. The first two days were
spent at the ‘A Place to Live’ conference in Whanganui, followed by
a day in Wellington, where the participants discussed their thoughts and
observations. Young people worked together to create a document and presentation that
articulated their thoughts and observations about New Zealand's long-term
future. On
the fourth day, participants presented in Parliament.
5. The LocalNZ Connecting
Youth Committed to Local Government workshop
was a collaboration between New Zealand Treasury, Wellington City Council, the
MacDiarmid Institute and Victoria University of Wellington, in association with
the Royal Society of New Zealand, Wanganui District Council, the Whanganui
River Māori Trust Board and the McGuinness Institute.
6. The
initiative forms part of the McGuinness Institute’s TalentNZ project – creating an informed, focused and networked group of
young New Zealanders able to engage effectively with government and the
communities in which they live. TalentNZ is a strategy developed by Sir Paul
Callaghan to ensure New Zealand is a country “where talent wants to live.”
7. The McGuinness
Institute is a privately funded, non-partisan think tank working towards a
sustainable future – contributing strategic foresight through
evidence-based research and policy analysis.
8. As part of their application, participants were
required to pay ten hours forward, donating their time to a public activity
during 2015. This presentation is a partial fulfilment of the ‘pay-it-forward’
requirement.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Youth Advisory Panel:
a) thank Member Sam Yoon and Yanni
Cowie for their presentation on the LocalNZ Connecting Youth Committed to
Local Government workshop.
