New programmes
Connect with culture
Tirohanga whānui
Ground yourself in mātauranga Māori
Three unique programmes that bring mātauranga Māori to life through Tiaki Taonga, Tātai Whetū, and Taonga Puoro.
Each offers a different pathway to reconnect, protect, and express knowledge, while strengthening your identity and connection to whānau, hapū, and community. Whether you’re preserving taonga, navigating through ancestral knowledge, or expressing culture through sound, these programmes are grounded in mātauranga Māori.
Preserve the past, empower your future.
