Have your say: What it means to be Kiwi in the 21st century

Sunday, 30 September 2018

New Zealanders loved Kiwiana and it helped define us on the world stage – but it was a creation of the last century. Now, we are inviting our readers to start an optimistic conversation about the new set of Kiwi values that encapsulates our diverse, innovative 21st Century nation.

OUR VALUES

Over coming months, we will meet the people that are shaping that new culture, and discover the heartwarming stories of those who exemplify it for the next generation.

Tell us what you think are the values, old and new, that define New Zealand, in our AMP/Stuff Survey of Values, conducted by Yabble.

OUR ICONS

What are the symbols of New Zealand? Is there a new pavlova, a new kiwifruit for this century?

Over the coming month, we'll be asking you about the new Kiwiana. First up, jandals shaped the feet of a nation – but what's next?

❑ Allbirds, the hi-tech shoe with an environmental goal, made from fine merino wool;

❑ Nomads, the 1980s crepe-soled schoolyard phenomenon set for a reboot;

❑ Thick foot hair, as modelled by Peter Jackson's hobbits.

Tell us, in our fun Neighbourly Kiwiana poll.
