Are you interested in exploring with others what constitutional transformation could look like, to actualise Te Tiriti o Waitangi?
Join this in-person group to develop your awareness and understanding of Matike Mai Aotearoa.
Process of Sessions:
There are four sessions in total - the first session is 2 hours, including time for whakawhanaungatanga (getting to know one another); the remaining 3 sessions are 1 1/2 hours each.
Sections of the Matike Mai report will be allocated to read ahead of each session, so participants need to access a copy of the report before the first session.
Order a hard copy from The Best Little Book Store
Tick the relevant option on the registration form to order directly from Network Waitangi Whangārei.
A supportive space will be created for participants to share their responses to the report, and explore what the transformation Matike Mai proposes might mean for us, individually and collectively. All sessions utilise grounding techniques and contemporary poetry to support learning.
Prerequisites and requirements:
To take part, participants need to have completed an Introduction to Te Tiriti o Waitangi workshop or similar. Participants are also expected to commit to all four sessions.
"... so much to consider and learn and be courageous about."

About Matike Mai:
Formed at a meeting of the Iwi Chairs' Forum at Haruru in February 2010, Matike Mai Aotearoa, the Independent Working Group on Constitutional Transformation was chaired by Margaret Mutu and convened by the late Moana Jackson. The process to develop recommendations for constitutional change involved conversations between Māori of all ages across the country from 2012 to 2015. The Report of Matike Mai Aotearoa was published in 2016.
Our workshops are run by experienced Pākehā facilitators who:
Involve people in activity-based learning techniques.
Work with participants to create a safe environment to enable full and free discussion on the issues raised in the workshop.
Provide independent resource material and a guide to further study.
We also provide Workplace implementation support, including anti-racism strategies and tools
