WAHA is an innovative approach to civics education, which explores how people work together to address issues of social significance. Using games, videos, and beautiful design, WAHA teaches civics in a positive, motivating and uplifting way.
At the heart of Waha is one proposition: Participation is power.
Waha is designed to encourage rangatahi to participate in change making. It does this by helping them to see they are crucial members of their communities and our country, equipped with skills, knowledge and solutions to keep making positive change.

Who developed the resource?
Waha was developed by YouthLaw Aotearoa. We are the only legal service in Aotearoa exclusively for children and young people. Our co-design team was made up of seven young leaders from South Auckland and five teaching professionals from across Tāmaki Makaurau. Over 50 people and organisations have contributed ideas and resources along the way.
