Connect
📣⛔️ DISCONNECT to RECONNECT - Le Va is hitting pause on our socials!
With Mental Health Awareness Week fresh in our minds, and having just moved back into our Harakeke House office, we want to practice what we preach with a short social media break, to connect more in our physical and relational spaces (the Va) than in the digital one.
📱🖥 There's a lot of evidence that too much screen time or social media scrolling can affect our mental wellbeing, with links to increased anxiety and depression in teens, poor sleep patterns and lack of exercise, and even low self-esteem from comparing our lives to others'.
We encourage you to take regular breaks from social media and we have some good tips on how to ease into a digital detox on our Mental Wealth website: www.mentalwealth.nz/article/digital-detox/
We love engaging with you here though, so we will be back next Thursday 10 October, excited to celebrate our amazing Futures that Work Pacific Mental Health and Addiction Scholarship recipients! 👩🎓🧑🎓

Vaiaso o te Gana Tuvalu!
The theme for Tuvalu Language Week 2024 is
‘Taofi mau ki tau ‘gana, mo tou gaugaleo, me ko tou iloga tena’ which means ‘Uphold your language and dialect, for it is your identity’.
This year’s theme was prepared by Kaiga Tuvalu Otago and endorsed by national leaders of the Tuvalu Language Week working group.
Get together with your work crew and learn some phrases in Tuvaluan to practice in the workplace! Better yet, go to lunch with a friend Tuvaluan. Every small effort to uphold the Tuvaluan language matters 💙💛

We had a great turnout for our very first Niu Wave tertiary workshop tonight.
The Talanoa was powerful and we were encouraged by all the different students that are going to represent our Pasifika communities in STEAM careers in the near future. Our future is in beautiful hands with Pasifika representation on the rise. Malo
Niu Wave is funded by the Ministry for Pacific Peoples as part of the Toloa scholarships program
