About this listen
Join host Neil Wallace as he engages in a rich conversation with Hone Fletcher, Principal Advisor of Ropu Toi Ora at Ara Poutama Aotearoa. Hone's journey from diverse fields like education, counseling, and music into the Ara Poutama Aotearoa Department of Corrections offers a unique lens on the transformative power of art in prisons. In this conversation, Hone and Neil explore the origins and impact of the Hōkai Rangi Strategy, deeply rooted in Te Ao Māori. Hone also shares insights into its six pou, emphasising humanising and healing, fostering participation, and embracing Māori traditions.
Through poignant stories, Hone illustrates how creative practices within correctional spaces, like the Māori Pathways Programme and Focus Units, offer avenues for healing and self-discovery. These initiatives not only impart skills but also nurture hope, leading to remarkable transformations and successful reintegration.
Reflecting on his journey, Hone underscores the collaborative nature of this work. Tune in for a compelling discussion on how creative practices are reshaping corrections and empowering individuals on their path to redemption and renewal.
