Practice Foundations is a monthly public sector community of practice hosted online by The Auckland Co-Design Lab and Healthy Families Far North.
Practice Foundations focuses on the opportunities and challenges that exist across the public sector. In our sessions we explore topics, tools and resources that public sector practitioners have told us are the most useful in building practice and tooling them up for implementing complex and ambitious work.

Whakapiki Mauri
Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora, Mauri Noho, Mauri Mate
This sessions builds on the May 2022 Practice Foundations “What’s the mauri of the system” led by Dickie Humphries.
We have found that deepening our understanding of mauri supports us to work in complex systems like the public sector. Mauri also helps demonstrate the power and importance of how we, as individual kaimahi, show up within systems change work.
This was an experiential session led by Marisa Pene (Te Tau Ihu, Tokelau) and Eruini Hawke (Ngāti Whātua, Ngāti Mahuta, Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Pikiao and Ngāti Maniapoto).
