Who, What and Why

Who, What and Why

Digital Aotearoa Collective is a community of open collaboration between diverse and passionate people engaged in systemic transformation.

Our mission is to develop digital infrastructure projects that will bring about epistemic justice and increase wellbeing.

We want great digital infrastructure, institutions, services, products and tools that benefit us all.  We work together on practical ways to help serve and support all people and communities to achieve that. We use information technology to move decisions to local contexts to achieve outcomes and hold each other and governing entities to account. 

Anyone can join, propose projects, collaborate with others, and act to create better futures for everyone.

E koekoe te tūī,
e ketekete te kākā,
e kūkū te kererū
The tui chatters,
the kākā cackles,
the kererū coos.

This whakataukī has been variously translated in English as ‘It takes all kinds of people’ or ‘By appreciating all our voices, our different songs, we make good music for the future’.
