Kanorau Takiwātanga Wānanga - Waikato

“Kei wētehi, kei wētehi anō he rerekē, he kanorau tōnā ake āhua, tōnā ake mana, tōnā ake mauri.

Each and everyone has their own uniqueness, life essence and presence”

Kanorau Takiwātanga Consultants will hold the first of a series of wānanga in Waikato for taonga takiwātanga whānau, health practitioners and education specialists.

This wānanga aims to create a positive and nurturing environment for people to express their special abilities, to empower whanau and professionals to change the deficit narrative that surrounds ‘disability’ and to raise awareness on inclusive practices to accept diversity.

The series of wānanga are part of our mission to empower whānau and educating professionals about Takiwātanga throughout Waikato.

For those whānau and professionals interested in attending the wānanga, please follow the link and provide all relevant information.
