Here is an interpretation of TIES by members of the Changez Youth Group:
TIES is about involving Tamaki communities in any changes that will affect their lives.
Tamaki is our place. We live here. We go to school here. We hang out here.
Inclusive to us means everyone in our community, including youth.
Engagement is a form of relationship; it is on the way to something: a commitment that will last.
Strategy tells us that our community is on to it; we're decision makers; we're thinking about where we want to go and making a plan to get there. A strategy is smart and professional; it looks cool and that
sounds like us.
So what is TIES about? TIES is about bringing people together and making things work for our community,
WHAT IS TIES?
