Community-level engagement practice with Kelsey Taimaiporea
Introducing Kelsey Taimaiporea
Three Waters. We've all heard about it, most of us have seen a "stop Three Waters" billboard somewhere in Aotearoa. But what does it really involve? How does the Three Waters initiative impact Māori?
Today we talk to Kelsey Taimaiporea, Three Waters Engagement Lead at New Plymouth District Council. A large part of Kelsey's role is to engage meaningfully with Iwi to navigate tapu (sacred) sites and the significant impact of these changes.
Engaging Māori communities means visiting the marae, listening to their stories and drinking a thousand cups of tea to truly understand the tangata whenua that are being impacted.
In today's episode you'll learn:
Three Waters - we've all heard about it but what is it?
How Three Waters impacts Iwi in Aotearoa
The significance of engaging meaningfully with those communities most impacted by these changes
