The seminar Taunakitia Te Marae: Marae as Centres of Excellence - a Te Arawa Perspective, is now available online at our Media Centre.
Presented by Aneta Morgan (Te Arawa) the seminar outlines their research project which broadly looked into the factors that are required to ensure that marae can be centres of excellence for their people.
Crossing aspects of te reo Māori, rangatahi engagement and succession planning - combined with environmental and community influences, the seminar explored the concept that marae are integral to the identity and ongoing well-being of hapū and whanau, and are central to the survival of the language into the future.
You can link to a video of the seminar below, as well as an audio of an interview Aneta conducted with Radio Waatea, the day after her seminar.
