Whakapuāwai is an annual programme offering opportunities for development and connection for the Māori performing arts community. Check out the 2024 programme line up below!
Kua roa koe e ako ana i te reo Māori? Kua oti katoa rānei i a koe ngā akoranga reo Māori i Te Wānanga o Aotearoa? Tēnā haramai ki te Whare Whakaari o Te Pou ki te wānanga, ki te kata, ki te inu kawhe, tī rānei.
Haramai kia tangatanga anō tō arero māori. E ea ai te kōrero a Te Wharehuia, kia whakahokia te mata o te pene ki te mata o te arero. Waru wiki katoa te roa o ngā wānanga, kotahi hāora i te wiki, hei ngā Tūrei. Ko ēnei wānanga mō te hunga e mārama ana ki te reo Māori.
