Te Tiriti o Waitangi workshops.

A treaty workshop creates an environment for people to explore the treaty and what does it mean today,  in a safe, participatory process.

Why the Treaty is relevant and important, personally and professionally, is addressed by learning our country’s story. The importance of this is captured as follows : today’s society and challenges didn’t just suddenly appear, it is a result of our history. A historical perspective can help us to navigate and understand the present and assist us in our thinking for the future.

The workshop format honours the relationships within the group and discussion is a valued part of the process, so the many and varied questions participants bring with them can be explored.

Treaty Education runs workshops for a wide range of organisations, including :  local government, education, health, science and research, environment, youth and community based organisations.

Treaty Education is able to create a workshop that will fit the needs of your organisation.

Length and Cost.

Workshops vary in length, from half a day through to two days. Shorter workshops cover the basics of pre-treaty Aotearoa, treaty texts – latest understandings and implications, what happened post-treaty and the treaty today. Two day workshops and/or follow-up workshops allow the space to explore what the treaty means in the context of the particular group or organisation and how to give practical effect to the treaty, or to use today’s language, to increase the cultural capability of individuals and organisations.

The following factors determine the cost of a workshop; size of group, length of workshop, how many workshops are required and the specific needs of your organisation.
