About the series

These workshops are adapted from the kōwae/modules within our Māori Cultural Capability Pathway located on the Pathways Awarua website. Kōwae/modules can be taken individually or as a complete series.

Topics covered

Each session will cover one of the following Māori concepts:

  • Ako (learning-teaching)
  • Tuakana-Teina (older-younger /experienced-inexperienced)
  • Āta Framework (thoughtful deliberation before action)
  • Te Whare Tapa Whā (the four dimensions of a person’s wellbeing)
  • Manaakitanga (caring/ uplifting each other)
  • Rangatiratanga (independent decision-making and choices)
  • Whanaungatanga (relationships/ relationship-building)

Introductory and advanced sessions

For each concept we offer two options:

  • introductory sessions for new learners of Māori concepts (available in Semester one, 2023)
  • advanced sessions for deeper level application of the concepts (available in Semester two, 2023).
