This is the story about how young people in Kaitaia in New Zealand are beating Rheumatic Fever. Told in their ‘beat’.
In November 2016 a group of 20 rangatahi Maori came together to design, write, illustrate and record a poem about how to prevent rheumatic fever in their community.
With the help of poet and performance artist Daren Kamali, health and education experts, and the team from KIWA, the students created an interactive storybook app that takes a fresh approach to communicating key messages.
The app has audio and text in English and te Reo Maori, with some other languages mixed in, and is rich in the expression and idiom of its authors. As the students say, LISTEN UP, there are important messages here
