About the event

For information and to register, please visit the event page.

This workshop has been specifically designed for social service sector leaders and kaimahi by Dr. Nicola Atwool.

This workshop provides an interactive space to explore the cultural dynamics within Aotearoa, particularly in the context of colonisation, and to examine the challenges of working in partnership from a Tauiwi perspective.

The workshop will cover two areas: the first focuses on Culture & Cultural Difference, while the second addresses Being a Treaty-based Organisation.

Attendees will learn about:

  • Partnership in the social services – expectations and obligations
  • Exploration of culture in the context of colonisation
  • Barriers to partnership:
    • Unconscious bias
    • Epistemological differences
    • What happens when two worlds collide?
  • History and good intentions
  • Legacy of monocultural practices
  • Navigating ideology
  • Moving toward partnership
