Tauira will have the opportunity to engage with Māori Housing experts across the housing continuum and gain insights from leading exemplars across the motu.
All tauira participating in our 15-week programme are required to bring a real-world Māori housing project and will develop these projects through wānanga alongside experts and fellow tauira. The kaupapa Māori programme will explore key issues across the housing continuum as they relate to the themes of whakapapa, whenua, whānau, wai and kai, whare, and whai rawa.
