Matariki Mā Puanga, celebrate together – June 2025
Kia ora e te whānau,
As Matariki and Puanga rise, we enter a time to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine. This year’s theme, Matariki mā Puanga, speaks directly to the heart of community-led development, reminding us that while regional stories and practices differ, it’s this diversity that enriches our shared identity and strengthens our collective wellbeing. At Inspiring Communities, we see this every day in the many ways communities are leading responses to the challenges and opportunities they face.
