Angie Tangaere
Community-led transformation specialist
Social Intrapreneur, the Southern Initiative
“It’s not about the process creating a whole bunch of prototypes, it’s about the process actually being a vehicle to empower people.”
Born in Papakura and raised in South Auckland with whakapapa to Ngāti Porou on her father’s side and Pākeha from Taranaki on her mother’s side, Angie Tangaere is shifting the focus of social transformation from intervention to empowerment. With The Southern Initiative, she develops and co-designs whānau-led initiatives that align to the aspirations and outcomes sought by communities, disrupting ineffective ‘business as usual’ systems.
Angie will join us live as a remote guest and will interact with the festival audience.
