Reo
Join Te Huanui, our online reo programme with Te Ataarangi. Te Huanui is designed for anyone wanting to learn to kōrero Māori, and you’ll be speaking in te reo Māori from your very first class. It's fun, goes at your pace, and there are no tests or assessments. Just repetition, practice, and having a go. The course runs for 20 weeks, with a 2-hour session each week, delivered entirely online.

Tikanga
Let’s Talk Tikanga is a six-part lunchtime wānanga series for businesses, led by Dr Ruakere Hond, a respected leader in tikanga Māori and te reo revitalisation. Each two-hour session builds on the last to grow cultural confidence and explore practical ways to apply tikanga in business. Sessions are online, with the option to attend in person in Taranaki. Refreshments are provided with the in person session. Recordings are available for three weeks to registered participants.
