Learning and Training opportunities with Inspiring Communities
Our vision is an Aotearoa where all communities are at the centre of creating and implementing change to improve their own hauora.
We connect, mentor and support individuals, organisations and communities. Meet our board, our team and our supporters.
Connection and collaboration is foundational to everything we do.
We help make things easier for communities to work in locally-led ways – together. We believe that communities know best about what works for them and what they need to thrive.
We share local wisdom and practice-based evidence to inform public policy and systems change.
We focus our mahi around our four hekenga (pathways); capability building, evolving knowledge, influencing change, and ensuring sustainability.
Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi: With your basket and my basket, we will sustain the people.
