BLAKE Inspire 2023 | Waikato, Aotearoa

BLAKE inspire is a week-long leadership program, equipping rangatahi to take action to protect our taonga and whenua.

Over the week, we worked with a range of scientists & environmental experts, learning about topical environmental issues and how they can take action to tackle them.

Climate Change, Mātauranga Māori, Biodiversity, and Agriculture were just a few of the kaupapa we touched on.
