"We want to create a way of working as a whole community, agencies and us together, that creates hope and optimism"
Georgie Thompson, Ruapotaka Marae, Tamaki

We are always looking for ways to spread learning from experience. Developing and sharing a range of tools is one way of doing this and is the focus of this section of the website. The tools are a mixture. Some are about:

  • Practical ways of building neigbourhood and community connections - such as  how to run a street BBQ
  • Handy hints about communities leading their own development - such as the lessons learned from Ora'anga Kopapa Matutu - By Us, for Us
  • Ways of strengthening approaches to community-led development - such as questions to test the Community-Led Development Framework

There are several tools being developed at the moment and ideas being tested. We welcome tools and suggestions from you.
