This presentation will look at examples of how Rangatahi who are engaged in Māori health research have used interview and secondary data about Māori health and wellbeing issues to re-tell the story in ways that transcend ‘traditional’ research analysis dissemination methods.

Whakauae Research is an Iwi-owned Māori health research centre that has worked closely with Rangatahi to build engagement, capacity and capability in the Māori research space – this presentation will be featuring the work of two groups of Rangatahi who re-imagined data through narrative storytelling and boardgames, and will look at how we can bring Rangatahi into research spaces to innovate and re-design research thinking and impact.
