Will participants receive any koha?

As an expression of manaakitanga and aroha, and in acknowledgment of participants contribution to the project, we will offer koha in the form of a $30 gift voucher for each meeting attended, or a donation to a service/organisation that members choose.  

What is the time commitment?

Participants will join a 1-hour kōrero with a similar group of people about their experiences. Groups will meet 3-5 times, to allow rich discussion, and will be face-to-face in places convenient to participants, or virtually online, depending on preference.

Participants can volunteer individually, in friendship or existing groups, or for a Māori only group.
