Ako Aotearoa is pleased to sponsor the 2025 ACE Conference, being held in Christchurch this year.
2025 Theme:
AI | A.I. : Bridging Artificial and Ancestral Intelligence
The conference theme AI | A.I. : Bridging Artificial and Ancestral Intelligence, will bring together educators, technologists, and community leaders to explore the intersections of modern AI and ancestral wisdom. The goal is to foster a rich dialogue that honours indigenous knowledge while embracing the innovative applications of artificial intelligence in community and educational contexts.
By connecting these two realms, the conference aims to develop educational practices that respect and celebrate the past, while also paving the way for a future rooted in collaboration, creativity, and cultural integrity.
Join them for a transformative learning experience, exchange of ideas and practices, as they highlight the unique strengths of both Artificial Intelligence and ancestral wisdom in shaping adult and community education.
This is an opportunity to help redefine the role of technology and tradition in shaping resilient, inclusive communities.
