Have a look at the Welcoming Communities Programme in New Zealand and hear directly from Mayors, newcomers and other community members to tell you more about what it takes to build welcoming communities. This programme is a powerful partnership that brings together central government, local councils and communities at every level. Its ultimate goal is to create a sense of belonging for everyone and to inspire welcoming actions and initiatives.

The video was edited by the It Takes a Community team with footage taken from the New Zealand Welcoming Communities Programme and recent Immigration New Zealand interviews.
