What are examples of Māori language activities for the office?

Answer

Encouraging staff and the public to make a conscious effort to:

  • Use Māori greetings such as kia ora, tēnā koe, tēnā kōrua, tēnā koutou, haere rā, e noho rā
  • Use Māori greetings in all email correspondence
  • Set a regular time for te reo Māori conversations in your organisation, such as a lunchtime:
    • Māori language games session
    • Māori language classes
    • Kīwaha o te wiki/expression of the week e.g. Tautoko! (I support that)
    • Promoting te reo Māori on your intranet.
