Workshop Title: Creating Courageous Learning Environments - preparing for the conversations on Te Tiriti o Waitangi and colonisation.
In this workshop Hana will address the challenges and explore the thinking that is required at a practical level, to create what she refers to as 'courageous learning environments', where we can acknowledge the emotional and sometimes traumatic spaces that akoka and kaiako may have to navigate in order to step into those kaupapa.
