The HEART Process
This new process was created in consultation with the community in our wānanga of October 2022 and is how new activities will be created under the HEART Movement. This will be in place for 2023 and may be subject to change, it will then be reassessed.
Taumata members will meet bi-monthly at local venues within Tāmaki, at least six members must attend for a hui to go ahead. The dates for hui over 2023 are as below.
Change Agents, Partner or Member Organisations can bring ideas / kaupapa to the Taumata hui for tautoko to go ahead under the HEART Movement. Click through to download the “Your Journey through the Process” document. This is designed to help you if you have an idea you’d like to bring to the HEART process. We want people to bring ideas before they are fully formed! There is no requirement to submit anything before the hui. Information to support your idea can be sent to the Taumata afterwards if necessary.
At the hui, there will be a conversation with the Taumata, and you will receive one of three outcomes which will be confirmed by email after the hui.
The idea currently does not fit into the HEART Movement and is guided elsewhere
The idea needs some awhi to grow, support is specified which can help the idea reach a stage where it can go ahead
The idea fits into the Theory of Change - and is working towards creating healthy relationships in Tāmaki - it is given tautoko to go ahead as a HEART kaupapa!
An idea which receives tautoko from the Taumata will also receive - through conversation…
Identification of the phase which the idea sits in (learning, connecting, acting or influencing - see the 2021 Theory of Change iteration)
Identification of tools which will support or enhance the impact of your idea
Identification of resources which your idea needs to go ahead
A support Change Agent for the entirety of your ideas journey as a HEART kaupapa
We are excited about the HEART process because it opens up the opportunity for everyone to do anything - a mother of a whānau / a teacher in a school / a pastor of a church / an organisation doing a 3 year programme.
You should bring your idea to the HEART process because,
The credibility / reputation of the HEART Movement is solid, with high trust and high quality
The network the HEART Movement has in the community is varied and far reaching
There is no hierarchy in the HEART Movement, and there is a high level of knowledge and community mobilisation expertise in the Taumata members and Change Agents
The process could make things happen really fast
We need your help to get the HEART process out there! Change Agents and Taumata members should proactively promote in their networks so there is a stream of activities being presented and taking place in the community, keeping HEART active.
The visual below illustrates the journey of an idea which goes through the process and how it will work.
To continue your understanding of the process and how it might work for you or an idea you might have, please see examples of the HEART Process in action.
