'He Mana tō te Kai' programme launch

Para Kore is excited to announce ‘He Mana tō te Kai’- A programme that will take you on a journey through whakapapa, māramatanga, kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga.

In this wānanga series we will uncover the systems of kai, learn useful tips to reduce kai waste and save money, honour the whakapapa of our kai, decolonise our puku and make a plan to raise the inherent mana of kai. 

Join us as we launch our new programme 'He Mana tō te Kai' - Tuesday 25 June, 12:30pm - 1:15pm. 

Come along to learn more about this programme, hear from whānau who have been involved as well as a special guest appearance by Chef Joe McLeod as part of an exciting collaboration ahead and the kaupapa of E Kai Māori.

Participation in our programme is completely free for whānau Māori. The journey involves taking part in four wānanga:

Wānanga One: Whakapapa – Looking at our kai as Māori in relation to atua and our environment

Wānanga Two: Māramatanga – What our traditional kai systems and practices were, how and why they have changed, and where we are now

Wānanga Three: Kaitiakitanga – What we can do as whānau to value kai and waste less

Wānanga Four: Manaakitanga – Sharing learnings and making a plan moving forward through restoration of communal relationships.

If you’re interested in getting your whānau on board, or you’re an organisation that is keen to learn more about this programme for whānau you serve, join us for our programme launch Tuesday 25 June, 12:30pm - 1:15pm.
