He oranga whānau: mahi ngātahi Whānau livelihoods within the context of work and Māori economies of wellbeing

Intern: Te Ata-a-rua Hansen-Cribb, Ngāi Te Rangi

Supervisors: Chellie Spiller, University of Waikato, and Matthew Rout, University of Canterbury

Summary

This Raumati internship focused on developing a cohesive visual identity for the book Te Ahunga atu ki ngā Ōanga Oranga Māori: Towards Māori Wellbeing Economies. 

Through collaboration and research, the intern created an accessible and visually compelling layout, including infographics and other visual elements, to support and enrich the book’s kaupapa. This work contributed to the NPM research programme He Oranga Whānau: Mahi Ngātahi, led by Professor Chellie Spiller, which explores how Māori wellbeing economies can enhance whānau livelihoods. The visual identity created during the internship will help communicate key research findings in ways that reflect Te Ao Māori and support whānau aspirations.
