520 _aIf Aotearoa New Zealand aspires to be “the best place in the world for children and young people”[1] , the policy development process needs to account for the diverse backgrounds, needs, interests and aspirations of all young people who call Aotearoa New Zealand home. Over twenty percent of New Zealand’s population identify with African, Asian, Continental European, Latin American or Middle Eastern ethnic groups. Collectively, they represent over 200 ethnicities and speak over 170 languages. Of this group, approximately 40% would classify as young people. [2] However, young ethnic people report that they feel unseen and unheard in Aotearoa New Zealand society. Their voices need to be considered in the policy- generation process and innovative solutions are required to address ethnic young people’s unique participation barriers. A team consisting of young people and adults working with the Centre for Asia Pacific Refugee Studies at the University of Auckland – Waipapa Taumata Rau and the Innovation Unit partnered with the Ministry of Youth Development (MYD) - Te Manatū Whakahiato Taiohi to co-design and implement an innovative initiative to address this noted policy gap. The following sections of this report provide an overview of the 18-month project, which was delivered over multiple phases with ethnic young people, community leaders and policymakers. The project focused on ideating, prototyping, implementing and testing a co-designed innovation based on insights about the ethnic youth policy participation gap gained from interviews, community engagement hui and a review of existing research evidence.
