Rangatahi mō Papatūānuku video competition

Introduction

We asked rangatahi aged 16 to 25 to showcase their ideas of what can be done to ensure Papatūānuku can thrive. Watch the videos rangatahi shared with us.

The Rangatahi mō Papatūānuku video competition encouraged rangatahi – critical voices for the future –  to get involved in the conversation about conservation and te taiao. We asked rangatahi to submit 2-minute videos describing their ideas on what can be done to ensure the health and wellbeing of Papatūānuku.

The three question prompts were:

  • What do you wish you’d seen?
  • What do you see?
  • What would you like to see in the future?

We provided online resources, interactive technical workshops so that experienced and new filmmakers could participate.

Watch the videos

All accepted entries are now shared online so that everyone can see and hear the stories and ideas submitted by rangatahi. Share them with your friends and whānau.
