How Aotearoa New Zealand can take up the opportunity presented to us by the returning diaspora
1 July 2021 at 12:00
We were thrilled to host a fascinating event in July with our partners WSP in New Zealand to discuss how Aotearoa New Zealand can take up the opportunity presented to us by the returning diaspora. The Nau Mai Welcome Home report is now available.
Many thanks to our panel, who discussed how we can make our cities and infrastructure somewhere talent wants to live – Julia Arnott-Neenee, Brad Olsen, Kerrin Leoni, Kumeroa Pihama, Courtenay Northcott and Deputy Director Holly Walker.

Your support makes everything we do possible - from producing new research and policy ideas, to hosting our honorary fellows programme, to running public events and member-only webinars that bring people together for meaningful conversations about New Zealand’s future.
