Kotahi te aho ka whati, ki te kāpuia e kore e whati 

One strand of flax is easy to break, but many strands together will stand strong.

"HMW utilise the DEI framework to create and implement tools in the workplace to facilitate kaimahi on their tangata tiriti journeys in order to improve Māori workplace satisfaction for better systemic outcomes?"

Raranga | Weaving our Tangata Tiriti Journeys is an educational gamified toolkit developed to equip kaimahi with the skills and knowledge to assist them as Tangata Tiriti. The kēmu|game centres learning through collaboration, reflecting the traditional Māori art of Raranga | Weaving. The practice weaves together individual strands of harakeke to create something stronger, symbolising the collective journey towards understanding and embodying Te Tiriti. 

Raranga breaks down the hierarchical power dynamics that exist within workplaces, creating a safe environment for collaboration and knowledge sharing. 

The kēmu features three phases: Koha, Kupu and Tiriti. 

Each phase develops key skills and knowledge required to understand Te Tiriti o Waitangi and embody Tangata Tiriti. Utilising pick-up style memory games. While collaborating as a partnership to weave a takirua strand. Representing the collaborative partnership between Tangata Tiriti and Tangata Whenua under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Kua raranga tahi tātou he whāriki mō āpōpō

Together we weave the mat for future generations.
