This joint NPM-Science Media Centre initiative provides an excellent opportunity for researchers to get comfortable communicating with the media. This is a chance for professional development and it is helpful for researchers wanting their research to reach the general public. Researchers will have opportunities to meet and interact with the media and will upskill their practical and strategic communication skills. Entry is by selection. Media SAVVY workshops are two-day, fees-free training by the Science Media Centre:

On Tuesday, 24 October, NPM and Te Wānanga o Waipapa hosted ngā manuhiri tūārangi Kristin Ruppel, Department of Native American Studies, Montana State University, and Coy Harwood (Blackfeet/Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate), Acting Director, Piikani Lodge Health Institute.

Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, New Zealand’s Māori Centre of Research Excellence (NPM) brings you the second session of our Wānanga Paetukutuku series on high quality research and evidence for interventions and policies. With colleagues, Pou Matarua Co-Director Professor Linda Waimarie Nikora will advance a panel discussion on what needs to be done to realise the vision of flourishing Māori futures.

“Mana motuhake ki te kāinga. Matatū, Mataora, Matatini ki te ao.”

Research reports from leading Māori academics of Ngā Pae o Te Māramatanga – The University of Auckland, Te Wānanga o Raukawa and Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington, confirm the benefits of kapa haka to the development and wellbeing of individuals and communities.

The Tū Mai:  Rongoā Māori Symposium reflects a pivotal time in the recognition of the mana of Rongoā Māori by the health and disability sector in Aotearoa.  This Symposium was inspired through working with the Rongoā Māori community as part of a Health Research Council-funded project, Te Ao Rauropi: Mapping the Biosphere of Rongoā Māori.

Media SAVVY workshop for Māori researchers is a fees-free workshop aimed at increasing the visibility of Māori researchers and impacts from their work in both mainstream and Māori media outlets. The workshop is facilitated by the Science Media Centre, in partnership with Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga.

In this quarterly webinar series NPM Co-Directors Professors Linda Waimarie Nikora & Tahu Kukutai will be leading a discussion on high quality research and evidence for interventions and policy.
For the first wānanga, Tahu will be taking a long term view over the pae (horizon) with some of NPM’s senior research leaders and discussing what needs to be done to realise the vision of flourishing Māori future.

The October 20 webinar recording of the discusssion had with the authors of the report 'He huringa āhuarangi, he huringa ao: a changing climate, a changing world' is now available for viewing on our Media Centre.
