Camp Wired is back for another year!
The theme for this year is ‘Let’s Think Critically,’ our aim is for people to leave Camp with new tools and connections that help strengthen their social change work. Camp Wired is an online Camp for community workers in all its different definitions to come together to do some collective thinking and learning.
On the programme, we have:
Te Ao Māori & Community Development: A Binocular Approach with Johnnie Freeland
Join Johnnie Freeland in a session to explore the potential of a binocular approach to community development. Through the metaphor of binoculars Freeland conceptualises a partnership approach to community development that creates space for Tangata whenua and Tangata tiriti to co-discover, co-navigate and co-create. Shifting from square thinking practices to circular thinking practices opens new possibilities for seeing the future of our places and communities as thriving, multi-layered, living systems where communities can become powerful contributors to the health and vitality of their places.Unplugged with Anne Pattillo

Presenters
Johnnie Freeland
Johnnie Freeland (Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua, Ngāti Mahuta, Ngāti Apakura, Ngāi Tuhoe and Ngāpuhi descent) is a wayfinder, systems navigator and whakapapa centered designer. He brings more than 30 years of experience serving community and guiding a range of Iwi, Māori community and public sector organisations in working to achieve better outcomes with Māori.
He utilises mātauranga Māori: Māori systems thinking, knowledge and practice in navigating systems. He draws on knowledge and practice of maramataka (lunar celestial cycles) and whakatere waka (waka navigation) in designing oranga motuhake (well-being pathways).
Johnnie has helped navigate a whakapapa-centered response to climate change within Tāmaki Makaurau, through the Tāmaki Makaurau Mana Whenua Forum, and has worked to harness the benefits of drawing on mātauranga Māori knowledge and western science to navigate a way forward for Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland through Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri Auckland’s Climate Plan. Johnnie previously worked for Wellington City Council, as the Manager for Māori Strategy, within Mataaho Aronui, the Strategic Māori Outcomes unit for the Council. He now works for Oranga Tamariki as a site manager in Pukekohekohe for Service Delivery across South Tāmaki Makaurau, and as a faculty member on The Regenerative Practitioner Series.
