Active Land Talk: Weaving Mātauranga Māori with resilience planning for a stronger Aotearoa New Zealand

Te Toi Whakaruruhau o Aotearoa is a research centre hosted at Massey University that is centered within te ao Māori and dedicated to addressing Māori disaster risk reduction aspirations, in partnership with iwi, hapū, whānau as well as national and regional authorities.

The centre works with iwi whānui and partners with New Zealand’s emergency management infrastructure, to increase Māori disaster research capability through developing the next generation of Māori researchers as well as the disaster risk and resilience research capacities of communities and practitioners.

Three renowned speakers from the centre will share their perspectives on taking a te ao Māori approach to resilience planning that responds to needs identified by communities and in accordance with kaupapa Māori.
