WTR 2025 APPLICATIONS OPEN NOW

Whakamanahia Te Rangatahi (WTR) is an annual youth mentoring programme designed to empower rangatahi by fostering a strong sense of identity, language, and culture. Through a carefully curated series of wānanga, workshops, and hands-on experiences, participants develop essential leadership, communication, and creative skills that contribute to their personal growth and future success.

 

Since its inception, WTR has had a profound impact on its participants, many of whom have gone on to take on leadership roles within their communities, pursue tertiary education, and secure meaningful employment in the arts and cultural sectors.

 

Further details about the programme, including expectations and opportunities, will be provided at the first wānanga at Te Rau Aroha Marae. If you think you or your rangatahi may be interested, fill in this application form and email it to anjelina@miharo.org

2025 PROGRAMME OF EVENTS

We are thrilled to announce that our full 2025 programme of events will be launching soon. This upcoming year promises to be an exciting one, filled with a diverse range of workshops, art exhibitions, and performing arts festivals that celebrate the richness of Māori and Pasifika cultures. At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to uplifting rangatahi and providing a platform for the creative voices of our communities.


In 2025, we will continue to nurture the next generation of artists, performers, and creatives through our vibrant and engaging events. Whether you’re a creator, a performer, or an art lover, there will be something for everyone to enjoy and participate in.


Stay tuned as we prepare to release full details of our events. We can’t wait to share our exciting plans with you and to invite you to join us in celebrating the power of art, culture, and community.

Mīharo Murihiku Trust is a Māori and Pasifika cultural arts trust based in Murihiku, Aotearoa. We facilitate and manage cultural and arts events within the Southland and Central Otago regions. This includes events, workshops, exhibitions and projects with a strong focus on engaging rangatahi.

We provide meaningful and enriching opportunities for our community that are underpinned by Māori and Pasifika values.

We want to see a region where arts and culture are visible, valued and thriving. A region where young people are exposed to meaningful and attainable opportunities for their futures.
