The process of engagement, co-development, kawa and tikanga for the Ngā Tohu o Te Ao project.
The Ngā Tohu Research Collective is made up of three case study groups, an advisory group and Manaaki Te Awanui research group. This report explores some key features of engagement that have allowed us to come together as a research group and identifies some of the core principles that have guided us throughout the program so far.
The research collective is working together over a series of wānanga throughout the program, to support development of maramataka knowledge and practice in each of the case study areas. This collective approach provides the foundations for the Ngā Tohu project and underpins all research activities. Fundamental to this collective approach is engagement and relationship building.
