The Salzburg Global Seminar is an independent non-profit organization with over 37,000 Fellows from more than 170 countries who foster lasting networks and partnerships for creative, just and sustainable change.
Manager Mapihi Raharuhi will be joining more than 60 leaders from all over the world to discuss solutions on the following topic, Halting the Childhood Obesity Epidemic: Identifying Decisive Interventions in Complex Systems<\/a>.
Raharuhi says, \u201cI\u2019ll be sharing how a M\u0101ori Systems Return approach can strengthen the prevention pathway that leads to achieving health and well-being; looking to the past, to assist us in the present to move confidently into the future.\u201d
Maramataka in Contemporary Settings<\/a>, Marae Ora<\/a>, Hap\u016b W\u0101nanga<\/a>, R\u016br\u016b Parirau<\/a> are some of the M\u0101ori systems that will be shared, as preventative pathways and holistic approaches to creating healthier environments for communities.
\u201cIt is important to remember M\u0101ori had a system that sustained us for thousands of years. M\u0101ori were a thriving and flourishing people prior to first contact. Legislation and regulation had a significant impact on the ability for M\u0101ori to maintain their health and well-being and the negative impact for M\u0101ori can be seen in all sectors including health, education, justice and housing.\u201d
\u201cTe Arawa Wh\u0101nau Ora and Healthy Families Rotorua are testing M\u0101ori systems such as Maramataka \u2013 a response to food insecurity and food inaccessibility. R\u016br\u016b Parirau \u2013 changing negative stereotyping regarding alcohol reduction. We have found that leadership, collaboration and community involvement are key to the success of these tests.\u201d
Obesity and being overweight affect over 2 billion people worldwide, causing at least 2.8 million deaths annually.
Raharuhi says while the issue is complex, working strategically and collaboratively at this forum could provide opportunity to create impact at scale.
\u201cAttending this seminar are fellow system disrupters with ideas and knowledge on what is being applied in their countries to tackle childhood obesity. I intend to take this opportunity to share what we are doing in Aotearoa New Zealand with a key focus on Kaupapa M\u0101ori or M\u0101ori Systems Return.\u201d
\u201cIn exchange, I also intend to bring back new learnings to enable the work we are doing for Healthy Families New Zealand, to accelerate and connect with like-minded people from around the globe to grow healthy communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
