Our Mahi
Global Citizens Café
Think Tiny Desk concerts meets global citizenship chat, GC Café is an intentionally cosy speaker series on topics with global relevance.
Good Deed and Feed
GDAF is a series one-off events for students to get good stuff done for our community. We organise to take a bus full of students to do positive mahi of some kind in Dunedin. After the mahi, we enjoy a shared lunch.
Good Mahi
A day of community connection and impact. Good Mahi 2024 engaged over a hundred Otago Uni students and staff to make a difference by volunteering at various locations throughout our local community.

Minds Together is a buddy programme with people with early-stage dementia. Uni students are paired with a person with dementia and they have a sit down with kair for chats and laughs followed by an activity at different departments each week.
Reading Oasis
Each week during the semester uni students go out to a local primary school to read picture books to kids to keep their passion for reading, learning, and imagination burning.
On Purpose
