Learning and playing in te reo Māori.
Kura Reo Rakatahi
Kura Reo Rakatahi is a youth-focused te reo leadership programme, a pilot initiative funded by Mā Te Reo, facilitated by Kotahi Mano Kāika, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. This 4-day te reo Māori immersion programme will be hosted at Ōtākou Marae, on the Otago Peninsula, from 8 – 11 October, 2014. This first Kura Reo Rakatahi is aimed at rakatahi Māori who live in the Otago/Southland area.
Kura Reo Rakatahi is aimed at all learning levels:
- those who have just started learning te reo
- those who are learning but are not yet conversational
- those who are more confident and competent with te reo.
Students will be placed in appropriate learning groups for the formal learning sessions. It is expected that everyone will participate in all aspects of the programme, including assisting with food preparation when appropriate, and general marae house-keeping, abiding by all tikaka and kawa on the marae.
The key purpose of this Kura Reo is to provide an opportunity for rakatahi aged between 13 – 18, who are passionate about learning te reo Māori to make connections with each other as future te reo Māori advocates and leaders for their whānau; to learn in a variety of contexts outside of the school classroom environment; and, to extend and increase their knowledge, confidence and fluency in te reo Māori.
Contexts will include
– wānaka reo intensive learning sessions
– waka ama
– mahika kai
– taiaha (boys)
– hākī and general food preparation
– learning traditional stories, waiata, haka, poi.
Limited places available. For more information or to register your interest please email: [email protected] , phone: 021 714 658 or check out our Facebook page for more information.
