Teaching young people hope
He Kaupapa Tūmanako/Project Hope was launched in 2020.
What gives you hope? That is the question He Kaupapa Tūmanako/Project Hope, a course developed by Massey sociologists, has been asking secondary school students.
He Kaupapa Tūmanako/Project Hope asks, “What does hope look like in a Covid world?” to harness the voices and aspirations of young people in ways that develop their leadership skills and a hopeful vision of their future.
Dr Alice Beban is one of the course teachers, and says it is a particularly important project, “as young New Zealanders are feeling increasingly hopeless about the prospects of growing up in a world transformed by climate change, Covid, and inequality.”

Palmerston North Girls High School students Briar Anderson, left, and Charlotte Wilson with the package they prepared for a nine-year-old girl. McCreary said one of the school’s core values was social responsibility and the girls had that covered. Most 13 and 14 year olds were “too cool” for such ventures, but the girls got stuck in and took control. “It’s been a huge life lesson for them. and I haven’t had to do anything, just sit back.” Class captain Eve Hill, 14, spearheaded the effort, which was inspired by similar charity projects she had seen growing up in England.
