E kaha akiaki nei a Aotearoa Reorua kia reorua ngā tāone huri noa i Aotearoa. Ko tā ngā kaunihera me ngā mana whenua o tēnā takiwā, o tēnā whaitua he mahitahi kia whanakehia tētahi rautaki reorua hei whai mā tēnā, mā tēnā, e maha ake ai ngā wāhi e kōrerohia ai, e rangona ai, e whakanuia hoki ai te reo Māori me te reo Pākehā.

Aotearoa Reorua supports towns and cities across New Zealand to become bilingual centres. Councils and their mana whenua partners come together to develop a bilingual strategy for their centre and to create more spaces, places and opportunities where te reo Māori is seen, heard and celebrated alongside the English language.
Aotearoa Reorua is inspired by the hongi. When we hongi we share 'Te Hā Ora - The Breath of Life', and when the English language and te reo Māori come together, we get to know each other better as New Zealanders.

He ahurei te reo Māori i Aotearoa. Nō tātou tēnei taonga, ā, kia kōrerotia te reo Māori me te reo Pākehā ka kitea te āhuatanga e rerekē ai tātou i te ao whānui.

Te reo Māori is unique to NZ. It’s a taonga that belongs to all of us – and its use alongside English sets us apart from the rest of the world. Aotearoa Reorua leans into this space, supporting communities to become bilingual just like the first Aotearoa Reorua 'tuākana' centres; Ōtaki, Rotorua and Te Wairoa, and our newest 'teina' centre, Whangārei.
