MATARIKI ART AND CRAFT EXHIBITION 2009


13TH -17TH OF JUNE 2009
WAINUIOMATA MARAE


 The event enables all age groups from tamariki to kaumatua to gather together and interact with one another, share knowledge, eat together from a healthy menu (in keeping with nutrition guidelines), and create art and craft work in a supportive environment. It is also an opportunity to raise awareness of the programmes and services offered by Kokiri Marae Haoura


Objectives of the event

  • Increased participation by local artists (increasing yearly)
  • Required that Art and Craft works were to be for sale this year
  • Participation during the event by a broader section of the community
  • Provide an environment that is supportive and encourages creativity
  • Whanaungatanga (all age groups involved)
  • Promote the Kokiri Marae, and Wainuiomata Marae services and initiatives
  • Revival of Maori games and activities being played during Matariki
  • More Ta Moko artists at the event

 


How many people benefited from this Grant?

We averaged around 200-300 people at the event daily over the 5 days the event took place. Evening meal sessions were always sold out and a small price of $10 was charged to help cover costs. This is a modest count for the number of people attending.

 

 

MANY THANKS TO ALL THOSE THAT TOOK PART, ATTENDED, AND SPECIAL THANKS TO THOSE WHO HELPED IN THE DAY TO DAY RUNNING OF MATARIKI 2009. MAURIORA!

AUKATI KAIPAIPA HEALTH PROMOTION

6TH FEBRUARY 2009
PORIRUA COMMUNITY EVENT

 

Tina  is a quit coach for Aukati KaiPaipa(smoking cessation program). The team at Kokiri Marae Hauora provide support to whanau in the greater Wellington region who want to quit smoking. An  important component of the job is spreading the messages. One of the novel approaches we use is at promotional events we offer to exchange a smoke for fresh fruit, water, sasuage sizzle. This event took place on Waitangi day 2009 in Porirua attracting hundreds of people.
