Āwhinatia a Kōrero ki Ōtautahi

Tēnā koutou e hoa mā,

Kōrero ki Ōtautahi has recently embarked on a new adventure - we've partnered with Ako Mai to open Te Awa Whiria. Our new space, in Avonside at Climate Action Campus, is a multi-purpose whare that we want to utilise to elevate and revitalise ngā taonga Māori - reo, toi, me mātauranga hoki.

We have big dreams for the what the space will become, but we're currently just getting started out and we need your help. We don't need the space to be flash, but we want people to feel comfortable and at home when they're there. So far, everything we've managed to get for the space has been gifted, repurposed, made or brought from our own homes.

We know how tight things are at the moment, but every little bit helps. Even just sharing around your networks helps the cause.
