Tino Rangatiratanga - Wellington

Reflections between the Reggio Emilia Approach®️ and Te Ao Māori

“Education is a right of all, of all children … an opportunity for the growth and emancipation of the individual and the collective … a meeting place where freedom, democracy, and solidarity are practiced and where the value of peace is promoted.”

Northland School, Northland Road, Wellington

AUGUST 23, 2025

9.00AM - 12.30pm

Brenda Soutar and Leanne Clayton will explore 'Tino Rangtiratanga' as it connects to the pedagogy of Reggio Emilia and the relationship to the early years. It will support teachers’ growing understanding of how listening is a key component of both the educational project of Reggio Emilia and Te Ao Maori; listening between the children, adults and the environment around them. This mutually cooperative attitude is ongoing and stimulates dialogue and dynamic learning.

The presenters will share authentic examples from their own teaching practice, that encompasses Te Whāriki and Tiriti-based contexts.
