About Te Ritorito 2017
The name of this inaugural gathering, Te Ritorito, refers to the centre of a flax bush being like an individual that flourishes as part of a collective – intergenerational growth for Māori occurs through whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Puni Kōkiri and Superu have called upon a diverse group of top researchers, thought leaders, policy-makers and practitioners to consider how current research, policies and programmes support whānau, hapū and iwi wellbeing.
Te Ritorito will provide insights into the development of work in this ground-breaking area and highlight what challenges still lie ahead.
