Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for non-Māori only, to ensure cultural safety for participants. Workshops will cater for those with little or no previous knowledge and for those who want to refresh their knowledge.

We recommend participation in this workshop prior to others in our Success for Māori Learners range. It is an essential introduction for courses focussing on implementation of Te Tiriti.

A version of the workshop designed for Māori is also available.

Topics covered

• The content includes an overview of events leading up to the signing in 1840
• what the Tiriti says, the consequences of colonisation
• Tiriti-related policy in the tertiary education sector today.

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this course participants will have a basic understanding of how Te Tiriti o Waitangi informs current government expectations in the tertiary education sector in relation to decision-making, Māori cultural responsiveness and equity.

This learning will provide the foundation for other workshops which explore specific aspects of Tiriti applications.
