The Magical 'Kai' Journey workshop toolkit project tackles cultural food insecurity among primary students, guided by the Hautū Waka methodology and a 'How Might We' statement. It empowers students to connect with traditional food practices, reducing food insecurity while fostering cultural pride.

The initiative aims to bridge the gap between cultural heritage and daily life, recognising primary school students as key knowledge bearers for future generations. Through an interactive workshop toolkit, the project instils cultural pride and empowers students to share their unique traditions confidently, guided by the 'How Might We' statement.

The 'How Might We' statement guiding this project was "How might we support primary students to connect to traditional food practices to reduce food insecurity and inspire cultural revitalisation and pride?"

The Magical 'Kai' Journey toolkit engages primary students in exploring traditional food practices, fostering inclusivity, respect, and cultural pride. It empowers primary students to embrace their heritage and share it with peers, envisioning a more inclusive, culturally enriched future generation.

The Magical 'Kai' Journey workshop toolkit project demonstrates the innovative power of design, addressing food insecurity while nurturing cultural appreciation and empowerment among primary students. Leveraging Hautū Waka and ethical principles paves the way for a more inclusive, culturally diverse educational environment.
