E Whiti! E Whiti! is a programme of three, two day workshops that engages year 10–13 ākonga/students in Ōtautahi/Christchurch to solve real-world problems of local businesses and organisations.

Through these hands-on workshops, ākonga are given the tools to creatively solve problems, self-reflect, and learn as they work towards developing their own unique and effective solutions to local equity challenges.

E Whiti! E Whiti! can be translated as “Let’s cross over!”, evoking the metaphor of a bridge between ākonga and the professional world. This programme cultivates collaboration and mutual learning by both professional organisations, schools, and ākonga.

A team from Rolleston College attended the most recent event and performed well. Congratulations!
