Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Decolonisation Workshops
Our Te Tiriti o Waitangi and decolonisation workshops are designed to meet the needs of you/your team and/or your community with the goal of developing better partnerships between tangata whenua and tauiwi and an altogether healthier Aotearoa whānui.
In order to move forward, we must first understand what has come before. Instead of simply running through dates and deeds, we encourage participants to interact with the material using a range of creative approaches and discussion.
We also have options for Māori and non-Māori as it is important to identify the different needs of each group in these spaces. Our relational focus supports safe spaces for courageous conversations. We encourage those considering our te reo classes to complete one of our entry level Te Tiriti/decol workshops before or alongside their reo lessons.
Education Consultation Services and Workshops for Educators
Understanding te ao Māori in the context of the New Zealand education system:
what has been, what currently exists and what could exist to influence our mokopuna?
With more curriculum development that is implementing Māori stories and mātauranga into English medium education, we offer support for educators to engage with Māori concepts and language. Our intention is that this will increase the accuracy of the reo and concepts used, and facilitate inclusive systems to support and implement these new approaches into the school system. We acknowledge that often under-resourced schools rely on Māori staff members to upskill their community who are often not employed for that particular reason.
Workshops, facilitation and planning, and general consultation can be arranged and designed to meet your specific needs.
