SOAC Conference 2023
In December 2023, several members of the Gen K team attended the SOAC conference in Pōneke. It was a great opportunity to introduce the research partners to other areas of the research community and listen to kōrero by urban planning experts from across the world.
While there, Rosa Hibbert-Schooner, Matangireia Yates-Frances and Lani Rotzler-Purewa, three of our research partners were asked to participate in a rangatahi panel facilitated by Gen K advisor, Rebecca Kiddle. This ended up being a highlight of the conference with all three giving strong, well-thought out and innovative answers to all the questions asked. Feedback from the audience showed that Indigenous rangatahi voices in this space were much needed and well overdue.
