Toi Tangata presents the Toi Tangata Hui ā Tau 2021, an online event that will challenge participants to consider how their respective communities might best flourish and prosper through new and innovative ways of promoting Māori physical activity and nutrition.

Drawing on the theme of kia tū ko taikākā, this wānanga will explore ancestral knowledge as a means to relieve us from the burdens of today, and reveal a resilient and loving heart.

The hui is an opportunity to share and celebrate kaupapa Māori approaches to wellbeing. Over each of the three days a range of thought-provoking kōrero, interactive workshops and panels will be presented. Each of these contributions will challenge hui participants to consider the relevance and potential for the concept of kia tū ko taikākā to be applied across new and current initiatives that promote and encourage purposeful relationships with kai and kori within our communities.

Our kaikōrero include Dr Ihirangi Heke, Wayne Ngata, Mark Kopua, Dr Diana Kopua, Jessica Hutchings and more.

One of the highlights of any hui is whanaungatanga, the ability to connect with our peers and to be present ā tinana and ā wairua. While this move may present obstacles when considering meaningful connection in an online presence, we hope that we can maintain the sacredness of the wānanga space while connecting with you from afar.

There will be ample opportunities for you to engage, interact, and contribute in real time during each wāhanga.

The event will run from 9.30am to 2.15pm daily and feature:

• 1 x keynote presentation
• 2 x sessions of concurrent workshops (participants will have the choice of attending 1 of 2 each session
• 1 x Toi Ihiihi session, a competition run through Kahoot!
• Day 3 will have a panel session (which replaces the last workshop block)
