TALANOA TAI LEARNING: Pasifika centred practice and professional development

Date:

22 April 2026 - 22 April 2026

Time:

12.00pm - 1:00pm

Talanoa Tai Learning is a wave of learning that transforms doing into being, through talanoa, consciousness and cultural connection. For social workers, Talanoa Tai invites practitioners to slow down, to listen beyond words, and to engage with individuals, families, and communities through presence rather than process alone. In a profession often shaped by systems, assessments, and outcomes, Talanoa Tai Learning creates space for conscious relationship-building, cultural humility, and shared meaning-making. It supports social workers to honour lived experience, navigate complexity with care, and practise in ways that are ethical, reflective, and transformative—not only for those they walk alongside, but for themselves as practitioners.
