Core Learning Cluster
The Exchange supports a Core Learning Cluster of eight initiatives in communities of place across Aotearoa. These initiatives are all intentionally different, have started for a range of reasons and through multiple forms of initial leadership. They have different origins, geography, areas of key focus, resourcing, goals and are in different phases of the community-led journey.
For example, one started through a small environment organisation and another through local government, Iwi and business working together on local economic development. A third started from a large NGO wanting to find out what mattered most to people living in a local community, and yet another was initiated by local government.
