Projects
This project will bring the adoption of Māori and the practice of whāngai together in a single study for the first time. It will include experiences of wider whānau, rather than concentrating solely on the birth and adoptive parents, and the adopted person. It will also consider healing and social change, with a particular focus on the role of whāngai in their achievement.
Te Wānanga o Raukawa is being contracted by Te Matatini to produce a report that explores the value of kapa haka to health and wellbeing. This work will form part of a wider project that seeks to establish the contribution of kapa haka to Aotearoa within social, cultural, economic and educational contexts.
Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa
Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa has been offering rangatahi opportunities to learn valuable skills by leading a project, communicating efficiently, using data effectively and modelling from a values-based approach. The long-term vision for the sponsorship by Te Wānanga o Raukawa is to develop, nurture and build the relationship with Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa into a pathway for rangatahi from kura to wānanga and the development of a degree with a clear pathway into any one of Te Wānanga o Raukawa’ postgraduate options.
