Please find below Pānui for our up and coming Tikanga Wānanga, nau mai haere mai Whānau

Kia ora e te whānau 🤗 Āe e hikaka ana mātou ki te tautoko i tēnei kaupapa whakahirahira. Thanks to the amazing support of a number of our whanaunga (Sam, Apera, Hare, Mate) who have offered to be our kaiako/kaikōrero, we’re excited and looking forward to hosting this Tikanga Wānanga series 🙌🏽

With the support of Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi 🫶🏽 our wānanga is free and open to all, tamariki/mokopuna included. As a noho wānanga, staying overnight is preferred but not compulsory and commitment to the whole wānanga program is also preferred, so long as you attend at least 60% of the wānanga series 😊

To attend the wānanga we require everyone 17yrs or over to register, not only for catering but for funding purposes. To help with this registration process, I’ll be running some online enrolment sessions, 7pm Weds 6th Aug (āpōpō) will be our first session. Any pātai can be answered at these sessions too. In the meantime koutou mā, feel free to share our pānui with your wider whānau and anyone interested to join our online sessions. Nau piki mai, nau kake mai 💕
