UNDERSTANDING THE TREATY IN 2025

This 2 day course will be held at the WEA and run by Network Waitangi Ōtautahi (www.nwo.org.nz ). It begins where people are at and is non-confrontational. This opportunity is for those with limited or no knowledge, or those who want to refresh their knowledge, to gain understanding and clarify what the Treaty means today. It will explore: ancestry, cultural difference, and cultural safety; pre-Treaty and post-Treaty history; colonisation and social statistics; and new ways of thinking, living and working. Models and possible actions in 2025 for moving towards a Treaty-based society will also be considered.

A Workbook of Reflective Readings is provided so that note-taking is not necessary. An extensive library is available to peruse during the 2 day course. In addition to the Workbook, the NW Questions & Answers booklet is needed - please download it or it can be purchased on the day for $5, along with other resources for $5 & $2 - please bring cash on the day for these. Tea and coffee are provided but please bring your own lunch. CWEA does not want the fee for this course to be a barrier to anyone who wants to attend, so please feel free to contact the admin staff to discuss possible discounts and scholarships.
