Whakapapa Workshops are short creative experiences where learners can explore concepts of identity, whakapapa and citizenship in a kaupapa Māori environment. It is for a people.

 

Each session is lead by several Te Rākau facilitators who guides participants on an exploration about whakapapa that is fun and strength-based. It is culturally and creatively affirming, and strengthens relationships of each individual and the group as a whole. 

'we made lots of discoveries about each other on the way - not least of all how we value information about each other.'

Whakapapa Workshops can be catered to adults and rangatahi aged 12 to 24.

Workshops are hosted at your school, workplace or institute and accommodate up to 32 participants. The space required for a full group would be two classrooms or meeting rooms, or a single large space such as a hall or gym.

Each workshop runs for four hours, and priced is by negitoation - we have a deal in 2026 of around $300 for schools.
