Māori Cultural Capability
We are excited to provide a range of Māori cultural capability courses (physical and online) under our ‘Te Kahikatea’ development framework of interconnected learning delivered with a Māori cultural perspective. All courses are presented by Dr Jim Mather, Moana Tuwhare, Jason Whatuira, Te Kowhai Robinson or Kerira Tapene.
Our aim is to assist participants to:
- Demystify what Māori governance actually is in a culturally safe and supportive learning environment.
- Develop confidence in attendees who are required to engage with Māori entities and/or Māori communities.
- Provide understanding and insights into te āo Māori / the Māori world.
- Explain the relevance of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its core principles.
- Provide an overarching approach to the implementation of Māori cultural values and Te Tiriti principles at the strategic and organisational culture levels.
- Fulfil ‘professional’ cultural development requirements.
