Feedback from some of our prior participants:
“I appreciated learning about te ao Maori in its entirety, rather than just one aspect of te ao Maori
(e.g. just te Reo, or just tikanga) which is an extremely effective way to learn.”
“ A true understanding of my pepeha and how to convey feeling, not just words.
I also gained a greater appreciation for how all of te ao Māori links back to the land and ancestors and how this drives their decisions nowadays.”
“Engaging, challenging but supportive, encouraging, fun, enthusiastic.”
