Tuia Te Ako 2022 | Hui ā Ipurangi welcomes one and all

Priding itself as being a ‘Tiriti-led’ organisation, Ako Aotearoa welcomes one and all to learn from the past and share current good practices that can contribute to the future growth of the language and culture. The ultimate goal is to increase Māori learner success. The overarching theme for this packed two-day programme is “Tuia te Reo me ngā Tikanga ki te Mātauranga” (Weaving the Language and Culture into Education).

Ticket options

Day One will be free as it will be livestreamed (based on sponsorship received for te reo Māori). However, we still encourage people to register for Day One so that they can be online as part of the conference, chat with colleagues, and also be in the draw for prizes available for registered attendees.

Tickets for the full event (Days one and two) are $30. We do not plan to live stream Day Two at this stage.

We thank and acknowledge Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori as the event’s major sponsor at this stage and the EIT as minor sponsor.
