Kia hiwa rā! Resistance, persistence, and defiance in Aotearoa

Kia hiwa rā! is a learning resource that explores protest in Aotearoa through our Collections Online. You can delve into why people protest, explore activism in your own community, and grow your own skills as a changemaker.

We all want to live in a loving world in which people and the planet thrive. Sometimes that means we have to stand up for what is right and change the way things are.
