Opening up my students learning, understanding and relationship to the world (from either a Māori, Pākeha or World view)

My dream is to be able to teach  my students how to interact and realise that their culture, language and learning can have relevance and impact on others around the world. I want my students to be able to do things that they see on Youtube, Facebook or on the News. I want them to realise that they have or will have the skills and abilities to create and develop new and different directions for the future.
I teach in a Māori bilingual unit. Many of my students are confident within themselves and are very proficient with their reo Māori and tikanga Māori.
So, my dream is for these "soft skills" are able to be applied regardless of the language (they are universal skills). My belief is that my sudents can create in any world future (Māori, pākeha, any)

At this point these are just my ideas and rambling thoughts. The supporting readings or literature will follow as I explore these ideas further.

Please comment if you have thoughts, ideas, comments

cheers
