When?  

Wednesday 31 August, 4-5pm - Zoom session

What to expect?

This series features a flipped approach. To allow time for interactive discussion with our speakers and each other, you will be provided with a short 10 minute video reflection from our speakers to view prior to the event. This video will be sent to you before the event. 

The event will be a chance to dig deeper through facilitated discussion, plus Q and A. Join us and the speakers as we learn from and reflect together on these questions:

What strategies/approaches have you used when engaging with mana whenua and working toward a culturally sustainable school?

• How did you journey with mana whenua to develop a cultural narrative?

• How did you design and develop a local curriculum?

• What advice would you give to other Tumuaki embarking on a similar process?
