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.

The Māoriland Charitable Trust believes in giving Māori youth access to the tools and skills to create their own stories and to connect with other Indigenous storytellers worldwide. In the history of humankind, there has never been a greater need for storytellers as we look for answers to climate change, food and water access and other pressing issues. Māoriland also believes Indigenous youth have unique perspectives and creativity that can be realised through digital technologies such as AR and VR with them as key owners and creatives.

Te Uru Maire is connected to industry with 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.
