We are a city-based learning ecosystem working to make learning visible, accessible, and relevant for everyone. We aim to create the conditions where learning becomes a shared civic practice by strengthening connection, equity, and imagination across communities.

Grounded in the principles of systems change and foresight, we explore how learning can shape more regenerative and inclusive futures. Through storytelling, partnerships, and community activation, Ako Ōtautahi supports people and organisations to see themselves as co-designers of the city’s learning future that values belonging, creativity, and collective wellbeing.
