Te Wiki o te reo Māori at Education and Social Work

The 2020 Te Wiki o te reo Māori theme, ‘Kia Kaha te reo Māori’ represents the importance of making te reo Māori strong. This message is very meaningful to students, staff and graduates of the Faculty of Education and Social Work, who use te reo Māori as they work to inspire and educate future generations and support Aotearoa communities.

We caught up with some students and graduates to find out what te reo means to them.

A few of our students and staff members shared their favourite te reo Māori phrases and translations. Check out the video and try these at home!
