The NZAF and the Wellington takatāpui community are proud to bring Hui Takatāpui 2010 and the National Takatāpui Awards to Wellington in 2010.

Hui Takatāpui will be held at Pipitea Marae in Wellington on 29-31 October 2010. The national Takatāpui Awards will be held on the final night of the hui, Saturday 30 October, at the Marae at Te Papa.

Hui Takatāpui is an opportunity to celebrate and strengthen the sexual and gender diversity of Māori, especially rangatahi. Hui Takatāpui 2010 will focus on the health and well-being of Māori and aims to increase Māori support for HIV prevention as well as providing leadership and advice on issues for takatāpui. Hui Takatāpui 2010 will also provide opportunities for Māori to network, have fun, play sport and be entertained in a safe and supportive social environment.

The theme for Hui Takatāpui 2010 is ‘He Puarere Mai Tawhiti’ which means ‘seeds carried by wind from distant lands’. The komiti whakahaere selected this theme because the kaupapa behind this concept is that, as Māori, we are connected with our environment and the natural world. We share knowledge and experience with our friends, whānau, hapū and iwi. We are like puarere - we migrate to new places, make new whānau, new homes and new lives. We take some of the old and make it new. This sharing of knowledge through coming together is a key part of Hui Takatāpui 2010.

Incorporated into Hui Takatāpui is the National Takatāpui Awards, presented at a black tie event to recognise outstanding achievement in the takatāpui community. The 2010 National Takatāpui Awards will be presented at Te Marae at Te Papa on the final night of the hui.

Registrations for Hui Takatāpui open on 1 July 2010, and combined packages will be made available for both Hui Takatāpui and the National Takatāpui Awards. The cost for Hui Takatāpui 2010 is $35 for student or unwaged, or $45 waged, which includes transport to and from Auckland or Christchurch by bus, accommodation, all meals, workshops, and a full weekend of fun! A combined Hui Takatāpui 2010 and National Takatāpui Awards ticket is $55. and Hui Wherever possible, the komiti whakahaere will try to arrange transport for people who are on the bus route to Wellington.
