Ep 32: Jeremy Faumuinā – Elite Sports and Intellectual Disabilities

from Christchurch Invitation · host Mahia te Aroha

How do we make spaces for others – not spaces with limits, but so that any disability in one dimension doesn’t limit big possibilities in another? What support and pathways can we create to unlock potential, create structure and belonging? Back in episode 5, Jeremy Faumuinā Spoke about his work as a social worker with the New Zealand Police; with his concentration on young people who have made dumb choices; and about the Pasifika (Moana) concept of the Vā and about honouring the spaces between us. But Jeremy is also a sports coach and he talks here about creating and building opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities to grow through elite sports. About the Special Olympics, and the Churchill Fellowship that'll take him to Japan, Spain and Australia to study and learn from successful models.
