Multi Ethnic Collective
We’re on the lookout for people with ethnic experiences to inform us on how we can deliver better outcomes for all in the district!
The Multi Ethnic Collective is a new advisory group platform support by a new partnership between Whangarei Police , Whangarei District Council, Immigration New Zealand and the Office of Ethnic Communities and Multicultural Whangarei.
This platform allows for a group of diverse ethnic people in Whangarei to provide advice and build strong relationships with these organisations and with other ethnic groups. The key role of the Multi Ethnic Collective (MEC) is to advise drawing from their ethnic experiences.
We want Whangarei to be welcoming and support the needs for all.
Members may also help inform on matters of interest, views or issues of ethnic people, be a voice for raising awareness of the aspirations and goals of ethnic communities, advise on upcoming work of the partnering organisations and lastly help the partners engage with ethnic communities.
The group is very new and together (partners and members) are spending some time to learn about each other, gain trust and work out the best way to operate.
With 10 members committed to the kaupapa, we are very excited for what the future brings.
Formal meetings are likely to start early 2021.
