What is Kura Kāinga?

Kura Kāinga is a full-day, hands-on wānanga for anyone supporting their marae, whether in governance, management, or behind-the-scenes roles.

It offers practical tools, guidance, and strategies to help kaimahi manage the demanding responsibilities of marae operations while sustaining and strengthening their kāinga for the future.
