Collaborators

Ara Taiohi is the peak body for youth development in Aotearoa/NZ.

The King’s Trust Aotearoa New Zealand supports young people to navigate the world we live in, through equitable education, empowering entrepreneurship and social cohesion.

Nas, is a collective of BIPOC professionals working to address issues of racism, discrimination, belonging, and inclusion. Its primary goal is to improve the lives of systemically excluded communities.

Together, we are committed to ensuring the young people of Aotearoa/NZ thrive. These cards have been collaboratively developed following the terrorist events of 15 March 2019, and expanded through hopeful conversations. The cards are designed to be used by whānau, young people and people who work with young people, to support healthy conversations around areas of prejudice, as we endeavour to be a more peaceful and inclusive society.
