You will learn about the whakapapa, tikanga and protocols of a variety of Māori games and ideas, and you will unpack the concept of Ira Tākaro (the innate desire for play). You will be encouraged to critically reflect on current practices, and to consider ideas for your pedagogical approaches to optimise relationships with ākonga and improve their learning outcomes.

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.
