About this Event

An introduction to new takaro and pūrākau.
This workshop is for teachers of Years 1-13 students in Hamilton.

Join PENZ and Harko Brown in 2026 for an inspiring Ngā Taonga Tākaro workshop that weaves together kēmu (games) and pūrākau (stories), building on and extending learning from previous sessions.

This workshop introduces new games and fresh ideas, responding to what participants loved most about earlier workshops, which were extremely well received.

It’s a rich, hands-on learning experience that continues to deepen understanding, connection, and confidence in using Ngā Taonga Tākaro in meaningful ways.

This workshop will help with the confidence for embedding mātauranga Māori into your planning and programmes by providing opportunities for meaningful te ao Māori activities

The workshop will be facilitated by Harko Brown, Māori games expert and author of Ngā Taongo Tākaro II - The Matrix.

Your registration also includes Morning Tea and Lunch.
