creative experience self learning
Whakapapa Workshops are short creative experiences where learners explore concepts of identity in a kaupapa Māori environment. People from all backgrounds and ages get value from these workshops, including those with no creative background.
Each session is lead by Te Rākau facilitators who guide participants on an exploration about whakapapa means to them that is fun and strength-based. It is culturally and creatively affirming, and builds relationships of each individual and the group as a whole.
Whakapapa Workshops can be catered to adults and rangatahi aged 12 to 24. Te Rākau adapt the workshops to the group and the purpose.
Workshops are hosted at your school, workplace or institute, or community venue 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.
The workshop runs for three to four hours, or a full day and price is by negotiation. In 2026 we have a funded deal for college age participants so please reach out.
