Description

Step into Atamai Ora: AI for Whānau Wellbeing

A 13-part learning journey weaving culture, creativity, and digital confidence

Join us for a 13-part wānanga series designed to grow your confidence in the digital world, explore powerful AI tools, and unlock your creative potential — all grounded in cultural values and ways of knowing, with Te Ao Māori as the heart of our learning approach.

This journey blends onsite and online wānanga and covers everything from digital identity, AI foundations and ethics, to visual storytelling, ecommerce, and digital publishing. You’ll learn to use tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and DALL·E while exploring how they can be used in ways that reflect and uplift diverse cultural perspectives and heritage.

By the end of the series, you’ll walk away with practical skills to build and share your own AI-powered stories, artworks, or products — and be part of a vibrant network to continue growing alongside.

  • A foundation in digital whenua and AI literacy
    Understand the landscape and language of the digital world, from a values-based approach.

  • Hands-on workshops with cutting-edge AI tools
    Learn through doing, with creative tech that enhances storytelling and innovation.

  • Guided support and independent project space
    Bring your own ideas to life, with mentoring and time to explore.

  • Opportunities to publish and share your creations
    Gain the tools to take your mahi to the world, online.

  • A celebration of our shared learning journey
    Showcase your work in a supportive, inclusive space.


Haere mai, welcome — bring your curiosity, culture, and creativity. Together, let’s learn, create, and innovate.
