It's always a pleasure to talanoa with our Pasifika youth, especially our young men who illustrate a desire to learn.
Today we facilitated the Atu-Mai Respectful Relationships workshop to these young Pasifika men from One Tree Hill College NZ. ☺️
It's not always easy discussing heavy topics, but we are proud of the way these young men supported each other while the fala was open.
Vinaka!

Le Va is sponsoring the New Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF) documentary, A Boy Called Piano. The documentary was inspired by the stage play A Boy Called Piano by Fa’amoana John Luafutu & Tom McCory.
The film explores the journey of Fa’amoana John Luafutu and his experiences alongside thousands of other children in state care in the 1960s. This kaupapa looks at the intergenerational impacts of Fa’amoana’s experiences on his son and grandson. It’s a survival story and empowers other survivors to reclaim their own stories and support their pathways to healing.
A Boy Called Piano premiered at the NZIFF on 3rd of August in Auckland. A further six screenings are also scheduled in Christchurch, Wellington, and Dunedin. Each screening is followed by a talanoa session with Fa’amoana Luafutu and The Conch team.
Le Va will partner again with the organisers to reach local community audiences. The film screening will be followed by an October schedule of 16 theater shows in six locations around New Zealand. The theater tour will visit Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Oamaru, Christchurch, and Napier from the 4th of October - 29th of October, 2022.

Kia Orāna
Our Atu-Mai Violence prevention programme is based on the Cook Islands proverb
"I te Aro’a atu, I te aro’a mai" - love flowing inwards, love flowing outwards.
When we treat others with compassion, kindness and respect, we will receive the same in return. This reflects one of our core Pasifika values, reciprocity.
