At mahi we have added kīwaha to our screensavers, articles on our Intranet with resources for our kaimahi. I also ran an info session with my tīma on pronunciation and went over the new waiata 'kōrero Māori'. I also helda kaitahi with our kaimahi whom were available to come along with a Māori quiz and resources.

We sang a few karakia, as well as singing happy birthday for one of our teammates in Te Reo.

We sang 3 waiata and also happy birthday in Te Reo Māori to our project manager Dee. ❤️

I think it is what makes Aotearoa (NZ) unique. By having more people speaking te reo Māori, we can all share the cultural lens through the language. We can normalize te reo Māori in public spaces where it will be the norm to be welcomed with a "kia ora" along streets, in shops, restaurants and the likes, and even order in te reo Māori. When you're at work, there is a hum of te reo Māori being spoken at the water coolers, kitchens and in hui. Tamariki respond, understand and speak te reo Māori. What a world that will be.

Maori culture is special and unique to Aotearoa and should be pioneered to be uphelp and promoted. In modern society we face many challenges personally and as a whole. We can learn valuable insights from Maori culture to apply to our daily lives.
