You have a right to have your say

You have the right to have a say. Our Mai World project is our way of helping you exercise that right and to bring your korero to the attention of national decision makers.

Mai World emphasises the importance of your voice. Through the project we listen to you, and see you within your whanau, community, society, within your world.

More than 25,000 children and young people are connected to the Voices Project.

41 schools across the country (including one early childhood centre) and a growing number of community groups are now registered or involved – meaning we can ask more than 25,000 children and young people for their opinions.

This year we want to reach even more schools and community ropu, empowering tamariki and rangatahi like you to share your opinions on things that matter.
