E ngā kākā waha nui, e nga manu pīkoko ki te reo rangatira, nau kake mai nau haere mai ki te whakawhiti kōrero, ki te takaro i ngā kēmu māori me te wānanga I ngā kaupapa maha

Kawhe-whawhe Pāpāmoa

July 15, 2023/in Te Reo Maori /by Shelley Dean

Nau kake mai, nau haere mai ki te Kawhe-whawhe!

He reo Māori tāu? Kei te kimi koe I tētahi wahi anō ki te kōrero māori?
Koinei te kauapa tika māu!

Outside of wānanga and marae it can feel difficult to find a safe space to use and speak Te Reo Māori. The library is here for you.

Kawhe-whawhe is an initiative aimed to provide learners and proficient speakers of Te Reo with a comfortable environment to share whakaaro, have fun, play games, learn something new and kōrero with each other in Te Reo.

Some activities included are- wanānga whakatauki, kahoot, wetewete korero, learn sentence structures, learning games and just have a korero!

Hot beverages and biscuits provided.

No bookings are required.

So come along, have a korero and meet new people

E ngā kākā waha nui, e nga manu pīkoko ki te reo rangatira, nau kake mai nau haere mai ki te whakawhiti kōrero, ki te takaro i ngā kēmu māori me te wānanga I ngā kaupapa maha

Tukua tō reo kia rere!
