TE URU MAIRE
THE MĀORILAND RANGATAHI STRATEGY
“Te Uru Maire” unites film, creativity, innovation and technology to develop rangatahi for the future of work as story leaders, creatives and entrepreneurs.
By enabling rangatahi (youth) to have access to the tools and skills to create their own stories the MCT is empowering rangatahi Māori to have tino rangatiratanga over their own voice and be part of the collective Indigenous narrative worldwide.
Te Uru Maire is connected to industry with tangible pathways into high value creative work. In this way rangatahi Maori can contribute to the wellbeing of their whānau and wider community with an underlying commitment to tackling social and environmental issues for the benefit of the planet.
TELL YOUR STORY IN FILM
The E Tū Whānau Rangatahi Film Challenge is an opportunity for rangatahi up to the age of 24 to create films that present their perspective as young people in Aotearoa.
It’s about empowering rangatahi to tell their own stories through film.
During these rangatahi led workshops, rangatahi work tuakana – teina to create short films in just two days. These workshops are for rangatahi aged 12 – 24, are FREE to attend and for rangatahi of all skill levels.
