Developing Men of Valour Tour 2021

Our Developing Men of Valour tours are a movement to inspire, impact and positively change the lives of our young people and their whānau.

These tours are designed to share life changing experiences, pay homage to our Men of Valour, connect with our history, our ancestors and participate in cultural exchange as part of our educational advancement. This trip is about our students and their whānau connecting, building within our communities, aspiring to a positive future and DARING TO DREAM... BIG!

We focus on building our young people from the inside out by identifying and interacting role models, developing their mental wellness, physical wellness, academic pathways, character and work ethic.

Our rangatahi (young men) resonate with some of the challenges and battles that both the Māori Pioneers and Māori Battalion faced. They are encouraged and motivated by the bravery, comradery, passion, and integrity of these men in the face of adversity, trials, tribulations and victories alike. They see the sacrifices made on our behalf to strive for equality and a better future for generations to come.

This year we plan to travel within Aotearoa to pay tribute to the history of our ancestors and we will focus on the examples of “Men of Valour” within the context of positive male Māori role models. A privilege to be able to learn our history.

We are investing in our future and asking if you would do the same. Be a “TAA Change Maker”

Help our students experience positive change and reach the world. Thank you! Ngā mihi nunui!

Our itinerary is subject to flight and funding confirmation. Proposed travel dates: Early December 2021
