Mahuta ake i te pae | Designing Our Constitution 2024

Mahuta ake I te pae | Designing Our Constitution 2024 is a conference being held in memory of Dr Moana Jackson and to continue the conversations sparked through his work on the landmark report of Matike Mai Aotearoa.

Building on those conversations, this conference is focused on identifying practical steps towards deisiging an inclusive constitution for Aotearoa based on tikanga and kawa, He Whakaputanga, Te Tiriti o Waitangi and human rights.

Day 1 of the conference is focused on actions within the tino rangatiratanga sphere, while the second day looks also to the relational and kawanatanga spheres with a focus on inclusion. The programme includes speakers, panel discussions and opportunities for discussion through group workshops.

The key outcomes sought from the conference are some clear, concrete actions that individuals, groups, whanau, hapu, iwi, organisations, and communities can consider, discuss, build support around, or implement themselves.
