Our policy Tupu Tahi/Growing Together as One guides our organisation's bi-cultural development. The expected outcome of 'Tupu Tahi' operating within Te Whare Kaupapa Āwhina /Open Home Foundation is:
Māori have a sense of belonging facilitated through Māori processes/tikanga while establishing a safe cultural environment for all
The key principles of our Tupu Tahi Policy are:
- Forming and outworking a partnership between Māori and Tauiwi growing together as One in Jesus Christ
- Promoting equity and equality while recognizing the unique place of Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa
- Celebrating cultural diversity
- Respectful exchange of ideas
Tupu Tahi/Growing Together as One is one of five policies that relates directly to Taha Māori within Te Whare Kaupapa Āwhina /Open Home Foundation.
