Puanga: How to bring Te Ao Māori Into Your Business
A collaboration between He Toronga Pākihi & the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce
Wednesday 25 June 2025 | 5:30pm | Ngāmotu House | New Plymouth | Beverages and Kai Provided
This Puanga, we’re marking new beginnings with a powerful kaupapa for Taranaki businesses. Join us for the first-ever collaboration between He Toronga Pakihi ki Taranaki (Māori Business Network) and the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce — an evening designed to inspire, inform, and equip you with tools to bring te ao Māori into your workplace in meaningful and practical ways.
We’re honoured to host Dr Ruakere Hond, a Taranaki leader and globally-respected expert in language revitalisation, who will share his whakaaro (insights) on how te ao Māori, including te reo Māori and tikanga, can enrich your business - not only culturally, but socially and economically.
What to expect:
· A keynote from Dr Hond on the value of engaging authentically with te ao Māori, and how to do that
· A hands-on demonstration of Ataarangi ONLINE — one of Aotearoa’s most effective and proven methods for learning to speak te reo Māori
· Information on a suite of discounted offerings tailored for Taranaki businesses, including:
• Reo Māori programmes
• Tikanga and Treaty of Waitangi workshops
• Cultural capability and language planning sessions
Whether you’re just beginning this journey or ready to take your next step, this event is your opportunity to connect, learn, and grow.
