Cultural competency - Te Tiriti o Waitangi training

This course is for anyone who would like to develop their cultural competency, their confidence, and understanding of Te Reo and the Titiri o Waitangi. This could be for personal development or to help empower effective engagement within the workplace.

Cultural competency training empowers individuals, groups, and teams with an ability to engage effectively not only with Māori people but with people from any ethnicity including their own by helping you to understand the value of who you are and where you come from first by developing your basic understandings of Te Reo me ona Tikanga (Māori language and protocols) and Te Ao Māori (Māori ways of life).
