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.
