Throughout the year we have hosted several hui, in partnership with our whanau with the aspiration to learn and grow together to strengthen our knowledge and understanding of Te Ao Māori.

In this workshop we will explore some of the ways we have integrated Te Ao Maori within our centre community.

These include aspects such as;

  • Language Rich environments.
  • Regular whānau Hui
  • Matariki - Moving beyond a superficial level of understanding.
  • PLD with Staff
  • Holistic approach and ways of being.
  • Making connections to our local Iwi.
  • Evaluation- How do we know we have made progress?

How have we improved our relationship and connections with whanau Maori?

In this workshop we will share some of our successes and challenges of our journey so far. This includes what this has meant for us as leaders to collaborate and articulate what it means to be a Te Tiriti led organisation. We will provide the opportunity for you to then reflect and navigate how your hāpori/community strengthens their knowledge and understanding of Te Ao Māori.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Encourage knowledge and understanding of Te Ao Māori
  • Exploring what this means for you in practice for your context.
  • Evaluation- How do we know we have made progress?
