Workshop
Māoritanga Workshops for Kindergarten and Primary Teachers
After teaching kapahaka, Māori language and culture in all age ranges for over 25 years, Matiu has developed a concise, fun, full day workshop to help train teachers to gain confidence and proficiency to teach children in early childhood and primary school levels.
The 3 main areas of learning covered are:
1. Basic Māori language and pronunciation skills
2. Waiata Māori, the basics of teaching kapahaka , games, and storytelling
3. Māori customs, protocols and relationship building with local Maori
“Matiu’s enlighting and accessible information was delivered with such grace and humility, mixed with a hilarious sense of humour and role modelling strength. Our full day Maoritanga workshops with Matiu were a key factor to our regional association shifting into a new era of Māori cultural appreciation and enthusiasm to learn more.”
Each workshop will be a full day from 9am – 3pm. It will be thorough and fun, hands on, supportive and friendly. The minimum fee for kindy teacher workshop is $1000 plus expenses (travel, accommodation, food etc) for a full day workshop (9-3pm).
