Based at the top of the the South Island the Te Tauihu Collaborative group is focused on environmental education in the widest context of community.
We are committed to working together to understand the full extent of environmental education for the benefit of the whole community, and creating opportunities to make connections and encourage conversations and collaborations.
Who We Are
We acknowledge the role and guidance of the Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance.
Collaborating partners include representatives from councils, government agencies, environmental education providers, community organisers and teachers/educators.
We encourage anyone interested to join our working group, currently made up of representatives from:
- Tasman District Council
- Nelson City Council
- Garden to Table Trust
- Enviroschools
- Tasman Bay Guardians
- Motueka Kahui Ako within school teacher
- Natureland
- NZ Marine Studies Centre
- Whenua Iti
- Nature conservancy
- NZAEE National Executive
What We Do
We look for opportunities to work together or match schools and teachers with the best programme for their learning journey.
Our first priority when our group formed was getting to know each other and what we do. More recently we have been focusing on letting teachers know about the environmental education opportunities, including collaborating to produce a shared calendar of events.
