From Cape Town to New Zealand

Whaea Steph's visit

Last week Whaea Steph spoke with our group.  She described what whakapapa means to her and described how different qualities and abilities are passed down through generations.

She described how people recognised her abilities and encouraged her to become a leader.

She also described some of the qualities a good leader has.

Whaea Steph also talked about using her skills to help others.

WHAKAPAPA

In our second workshop we discussed what whakapapa is and why understanding where we come from is important in helping us understand who we are.  We have also been talking about how people from our families can influence us and help us develop our gifts.

The Awakening!

The Awakening!

We met for the first session we have called, "The Awakening." As a group, we sat in a circle asking each other questions around leadership, and we talked about what we considered to be important leader skills.

What is leadership? Why am I a leader? Why should anyone want to be led by me? In what ways can I define leadership and how this is linked to my sense of Belonging?

We filmed our responses around what good learners do, and how to lead learners!
