Grow your understanding of te ao Māori, in a flexible online course created by our experienced team.
About He Kura
He Kura by NAIA offers flexible, self-directed courses designed to help you build cultural intelligence (CQ) and grow your knowledge of the Māori world. Our approach is to help both individuals and organisations fully understand Māori history and context, knowing this is essential to working with Māori effectively.
In our experience, our NAIA in-person CQ programme is the best way to deliver this knowledge. It generally takes place over several months and encourages regular engagement. He Kura by NAIA offers a flexible and affordable alternative to our NAIA in-person offering for those who cannot make this time commitment, but still want to take a meaningful first step on your journey.
