"Gather the knowledge of the world beyond abundance".
In a world that constantly evolves, our vision stands unwavering: To witness Mātauranga Māori flourish in its most authentic form, encompassing the wisdom, stories, and traditions our tupuna. We envisage a future where the delivery of this knowledge reflects the depth and nuance of Māori epistemology, utilising both ancestral methodologies and contemporary innovations to ensure relevance and accessibility. Ultimately, our aspiration is for Mātauranga Māori to continue in perpetuity. This means fostering an environment where every new generation is instilled with a sense of kaitiakitanga (guardianship) over this knowledge, cherishing it as a taonga (treasure) and passing it on undiminished. Our vision is of a world where Mātauranga Māori doesn't just exist but thrives, resonating with the hearts and minds of all who encounter it, ensuring its essence is felt, its delivery is impactful, and its legacy is eternal.
