After a successful first year, Disruptive by Nature - the youth-focussed wānanga which challenges kaimahi to think differently – is on again next month.

More than 120 kaimahi attended last year and this year more are expected to hear from guest speakers including Dr Lance O’Sullivan, Turaukawa Bartlett, Livi Hirawani, Miria Flavell and Jordaan Tuitama.
