Kaitaia

Kaitaia

This app has been written, voiced, illustrated and developed by rangatahi (young people/younger generation) in Aotearoa New Zealand as part of the Taku Korero initiative by Creative Northland.

This app was developed at a storytelling workshop dedicated to supporting the self-expression of young people.

The development used the dynamics of whanaungatanga to provide a practical understanding of Māori concepts that when applied in our lives, can help enhance, restore and maintain our greatest asset, relationships.
