Applying Whanaungatanga in your practice | 2 May 2024

Whanaungatanga is a traditional Māori philosophy and cultural practice, and describes the kinship relationships in Māori society between relatives, and within and between whānau (families), hapū (subtribes) and iwi (tribes).  

In tertiary education, whanaungatanga has been re-conceptualised as a value and practice referring to close, family-like relationships between people in the workplace. Requiring time and effort, the practice of whanaungatanga helps to build respectful relationships between people.

This online workshop is an introduction into some deeper insights about Whanaungatanga

1. Different concepts about whānau.
2. Concepts about whānau-like relationships in work contexts.
3. Ways to promote whanaungatanga in tertiary and work contexts.
