Whakatupu Mana

Proudly hosted by Te Rau Ora, Te Kete Pounamu & our Nōku te Ao partners, we welcome you to join what will be a powerful day celebrating the innovation, leadership, and achievements of Māori lived experience communities, while showcasing Māori-led solutions that continue to strengthen hauora hinengaro and inspire positive systems change.

The symposium will explore how Māori-led solutions continue to address prejudice and discrimination, influence workforce practice, inspire systemic change, and strengthen hauora hinengaro for all people across Aotearoa. By celebrating the enduring pursuit of mana and equity, we acknowledge the significant contributions of those leading positive change within our communities.
