Nau mai, haere mai to our Library.
Grab a cup of tea and have a browse through our library to explore.
Here we have collected up some of our key projects and resources, some of the things we have learnt or tried across projects that we are offering here as our contribution to the field of community innovation that we are excited to share. It’s exciting, hard, fun, messy and warts and all stuff. We’ll share when things don’t go to plan as well as when they spark off in beautiful ways.
This library is our koha to others working with hapori (community).We hope they will spark more community innovation. Please use them - play with them, build on them and share them around. All we ask is that you link people back to us so that we can learn more together.
Get in touch if you have any questions or queries or good stories to share - kōrero mai.
