“This fantastic kit links well to the new NZ History/Social Sciences curriculum. The kit was engaging and inspired students to learn about their family history and ancestors. The resources contained in the kit were impressive, and the students were keen to get involved. We ran out of time and didn’t complete all recommended activities.”

What was the impact of knowing the stories in this kit were developed in collaboration with their iwi/whānau/community? Heartwarming. We cover Social Justice every year, so it's been moving to know and share with the students the importance/value of iwi/whānau and community voice this day and age. Unlike in the past where Te Reo was banned and having brown skin was frowned upon.
