Mātauranga Māui: Climate Action for Educators - 2 Night Training

On the evenings of Wednesday 22 and 29 June, 7-9pm, we’re launching our Mātauranga Māui Climate Action for Educators foundation climate training. Attendees must go to both events.

22 June is the global day of action to Climate and Employment Proof our Workplaces. This is our contribution to that day of action - and also an important tūāpapa/foundation stone for building our climate network.

Join us on both evenings along with others members from your region for this two-part training.

Purpose: to build a cohort of educators who have a solid understanding of climate change and the role of education unionists in a Just Transition. This training has been developed specifically for NZEI Te Riu Roa and considers climate change through a Mātauranga Māori lens.

We also welcome fellow unionists from our sister unions, the PPTA and the TEU.
