I have visited abroad only three times so far and have very few opportunities to get an unbiased outsiders view of Aotearoa New Zealand. What would motivate people to move here and stay; would their reality match the hopes and dreams?
I am blessed to live within a suburb which prides itself in its diversity. Many of the families here have immigrated here within the last three generations. Despite its low socio-economic reputation there is a groundswell of enthusiasm towards living well within the current environment. Flaxmere is beginning have a more settled feel to it.
Is the immigration experience similar for the rest of Aotearoa New Zealand? How has immigration impacted on the youngest people across Aotearoa New Zealand?
Welcome to my blog, which will consider the social impact of immigration. At the beginning of this voyage I have an unbounded curiosity for exploring this social issue. Feel free to comment or query any of the material presented here.
