Ethnic, former Refugee and Migrant (EfRM) researcher Tautoko session

Join us for our first Tautoko session for 2026 and connect with other researchers, former refugees, and migrant peers who are passionate about research with, by and for ethnically diverse communities.

This session will have time for:

• making connections and informal kōrero

• discussing draft ideas for stronger Tautoko Network branding, visibility, and promotion to increase our reach

• exploring ideas raised through the Nov 2025 review such as local area meet-ups, and how we can share news and updates within the Network.

Tautoko sessions are held two-monthly with attendance open to both Network and non-Network researchers and allies. They provide a dynamic informal unrecorded space that fosters a collective sense of shared purpose. We celebrate all forms of community-led knowledge-making, whether it’s community-based mahi and mātauranga, or based within organisations, the public service, or academia.

We are excited by the feedback we received and look forward to evolving this space together in 2026!
