Te Tiriti O Waitangi

Tauiwi Professional Development Wananga

Two wananga have been held for Tauiwi Tiriti Educators at Te Ara O Tawhaki marae, in 2002 and in 2003. You are invited to attend the third professional development wananga from 16 to 19 September. This invitation is extended to those who have attended previous wananga, and to Tauiwi who actively work with Te Tiriti O Waitangi, and who have a passion for group and community education as a way forward for our people.

The last 18 months have offered many opportunities for Tauiwi to develop our thinking and action around Te Tiriti O Waitangi, anti-racism and decolonisation. We will have an opportunity during this wananga to explore collectively just what we have learnt, and what we need to know. Through a variety of workshops and presentations, we aim to expand our analysis of the current issues, to develop and resource a transformative programme for us to take back to our own areas.
