Applying Te Whare Tapa Whā in your practice – Online
Event description
Te Whare Tapa Whā literally means 'the four-sided house', but symbolically refers to the four dimensions that make up a person's wellbeing. The four dimensions are:
- Te taha tinana – The physical and health dimension
- Te taha wairua – The spiritual dimension
- Te taha hinengaro – The thinking and cognitive dimension
- Te taha whānau – The social and family dimension
In adult education, a balanced programme of learning and teaching better ensures that all four dimensions of a
learner's well-being are being addressed.
This online workshop is an introduction Te Whare Tapa Whā as a traditional Māori value and cultural practice and as a
contemporary learning and teaching methodology. We will explore some ways to apply the Te Whare Tapa Whā as a
planning template in your practice and the kinds of questions you might ask to guide your planning and
teaching.
