from Tamara
There is so much I could share, one last thing I would like to share was the importance of Papaatuanuku, and the environment. The emphasis was on how important it is for infants and toddlers to connect with nature which is also an important part of the KIDSPACE philosophy. This is also a very important part of Maaori culture in which an importance to nature is held.
We each had to choose a natural item from a table which had an array of items. We all had to share what this particular item reminded us of, for instance a shell - family holidays or walks etc. We all had a fond memory and it just showed how nature connected us to people, places and things. So throughout this Marae stay we were immersed in living the tikanga experience.
A quote that stuck with me was "there's no bi-cultural journey, there's no destination map, it should always be emerging".
Feel free to talk to me about my learning on this course.
