International Students enjoy the Haka Workshop experience
Mind-blowing and unique is how International students from Auckland University’s Auckland Business School described the exciting and new Haka Workshops, facilitated by Tapeta Wehi from Te Wehi Haka. Students are from all over the world received their first introduction to an authentic Māori Cultural Performance.
Head facilitator Tapeta Wehi did a great job in keeping students engaged and entertained with lots of interaction and crowd participation.
Two of the students gave their feedback on how the day went. Arjurn from India said “I’m honoured to have accepted the wero (challenge). Learning the history of the Maori people was just mind-blowing.” Anna from Russia says “I’ve always loved the Haka but to learn a Haka and an action song was a unique and a memorable experience”.
Our team have a track record where we have proven to motivate, inspire and achieve excellence. This is achieved through a very unique and powerful way – using haka and waiata (song).
