Why just a week? Why not a month or year?

Answer

Initiatives like Māori Language Week and Mahuru Māori are successful ways to mobilise people around te reo Māori.

Mahuru Māori was launched in 2017, it challenges fluent speakers to speak te reo throughout the month of September.

In 2020, we launched a new website www.reomaori.co.nz that supports learners and supporters throughout the year, not just in September. We now have opportunities for engagement all year round.
