He mihi maioha, Warm regards

Ka whakamahi pea koe i ngā kāripōhi mā te tuku haere ki ngā kiritata, ki te whānau, ki ētahi rānei o tō hapori. Ka āhei tō pōwhiri i ētahi kia tukua he pātai, kia tuhia ō rātou whakaaro, ka “pōhi” ai i ā rātou kāri ki tētahi kete whakaemi.

Mā te kohikohi i ngā urupare e āwhina pea tō kite i ngā tauira, i ngā uara me ngā tūmanako ka puea ake i tō hapori.

Ka rite te whaihua o ēnei kāripōhi i te ao mariko ki tō ērā i te ao motuhenga, ā, kua whakaurua hoki he kōnae hei tā mehemea e hiahia ana koe ki te tā i āu ake, ka waiho ai ki ngā tēpu mahi, ki ngā papa pānui rānei, ki ētahi mokowā ngātahi rānei.

Ka āhei te whakamahinga o ngā kāripōhi e ngā kaikōkiri me ngā kaiwhakahaere i te hapori hei āwhina i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ā-rōpū.

Ko tā ia whāngai kupu he āwhina kia huraina ngā take nui katoa ki te tangata – ōna uara, ōna matawhānui, ōna matea, ōna aha atu rānei kāore nei rātou e hiahia kia kawea ā haere ake nei.

He whakawhitinga kōrero matua ēnei mō te urutaunga ā-āhuarangi e whai pakiaka ana ki te ao motuhenga, e arahina ana hoki e te marea.

He mea whakatauira te punipuni nā te ringatoi rongonui, nā Story Hēmi-Moorehouse, e whakaara nei i ōna mahara ki tōna tamarikitanga, ki tōna rangatahitanga hoki i Tāmaki Makaurau e oti mai ai he ata e āwhiti ana, e ohaoha ana, e āta noho hapa ana hoki.

Ideas for sharing in your community:

• You might use the postcards by sharing them out among neighbours, whānau or with your community members.
• You could invite people to sit with a question, jot down their thoughts, and "post" their cards back in a collective kete.
• Gathering responses might help you notice the patterns, values and hopes of your community that surface.
• These postcards work just as well virtually or in real life, and we’ve included print-ready files if you’d like to print your own and place them on work tables, noticeboards or in shared space.

Facilitation and open-ended design:

• The postcards can be used by facilitators and community organisers to support group conversations.
• Each prompt helps uncover what matters most to people – their values, visions, needs and things they don’t want to carry forward.
• These conversations are critical for grounded, people-led climate adaptation.
• The series is illustrated by renowned artist Story Hēmi-Morehouse, who draws on her childhood and rangatahitanga in Tāmaki Makaurau to create images that are wistful, generous and intentionally unfinished.
• The cards are open canvases – scenes that don’t tell you what to think, but gently invite you to step in, imagine and begin to dream together.

He mihi maioha, warm regards, truly.
