2. Digging deeper (E tipu ai te aka tangata, me uru Kahikatea - A grove of Kahikatea strand strong because of the intertwined root system)

3. Fledgling flying (Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu -Adorn a bird with feathers so it can fly)

Each of the themes run for four weeks and will consider the concept 'future-focused' in different ways for different purposes.
