Future Auckland Leaders Programme 2015
Volcanic Field Project: Otahuhu Pilot
Project Introduction
The Future Auckland Leaders programme is a two-year leadership programme which develops leadership skills for mid-career professionals. It is run by Committee for Auckland and focuses on developing individual's connectedness and their understanding of city and civic leadership. All participants share a belief in, and commitment to, helping make Auckland one of the great places to live, work and play. In the second year of the programme, participants deliver a legacy project that seeks to benefit Auckland beyond the completion of the leadership programme. This project needs to be complete and delivered by 30th October 2015.

Our legacy project aims to develop a model that organisations and local communities can use to tell the stories of local Maunga across our city. We have identified Ōtāhuhu as our site for a pilot project and, in collaboration with the community, we have designed our project around their needs to collect and tell the cultural and community stories of this Maunga.
Through this project, we aim to engage Aucklanders and visitors to Auckland in the amazing stories about the unique landscape this city is built on, Māori and Pākehā culture, archaeology, heritage, geology and botany; it will pull together these stories into accessible formats and information and make them widely available.
Ultimately our project aim is to help reveal the mana of the
site through community engagement with the Maunga.
What will we create: Project strands and outputs
The following are our current project strands.
1. Youth Theatre workshops.
A series of three Youth Theatre Workshops with Massive Theatre company, working with young people from the Performing Arts Department at McAuley High School, on the knowledge and stories of Ōtāhuhu.

2. NZ Book Council Project with Ōtāhuhu Intermediate School.
We have facilitated visiting experts, from mana whenua and Auckland Museum on geology, botany and archaeology, whom have met with students on a visit to the Maunga of Ōtāhuhu. Students are now in the process of creating Ōtāhuhu-related stories that will be published as part of an existing Book Council project, working with Paula Morris, nationally acclaimed NZ author. We will publish these stories on our website. We would also like to film the visit to the Maunga for use on the website.
