Sistema Whangarei - Toi Akorangi Our aim is to impact the lives of children in our community through orchestral music training. Our goals are to strengthen the spirit, and foster making positive choices, creating an environment of “anything is possible” for self and others. Our mission is to deliver this innovative, community based, El-Sistema inspired programme for our young people, beginning in early childhood, such that their experience as they are growing up is one of a ‘sense of place’ and a passion for life and music. Our Values include Manaakitanga: Hospitality, kindness, generosity, support - the process of showing respect, generosity and care and compassion for others. A bit more about the program:
Sistema Whangarei - Toi Akorangi is a visionary movement based on the proven El Sistema model from Venezuela, South America, that transforms the lives of youth through ensemble music; a new model for social change. Our mission is to empower children by providing an intensive music program that teaches the importance of teamwork, promotes self-confidence and self-expression, and instils the value of social responsibility. El Sistema’s philosophy is one of social change through ensemble music and the mission of Sistema Whangarei is an approach that embraces youth development and the whole child, with a focus on family and community engagement. |
