Matike Mai Aotearoa Constitutional Transformation Workshop with Erin Matariki Carr (Ngāi Tuhoe, Ngāti Awa and Pākehā)
This workshop is a space for us to learn about Matike Mai, ask questions and imagine the multitude of pathways forward towards true transformation. Constitutional transformation is the ultimate systems change for Aotearoa because it goes to the root of how power is exercised in our society.
