Talanoa Workshops

Online, in-person or hybrid 'talanoa' workshops tailored and co-designed to organisational needs.

Talanoa is a Pan-Pacific term to exchange stories, ideas and skills. The equivalent to ‘korero’ or a ‘yarning circle’ in Māori and First Nations cultures respectively; it is more than mere chit chat. Talanoa emphasises participant voices in a culturally safe and authentic manner, often grounded in emotion, spiritual and cultural values. Talanoa is a widely accepted Pacific research framework and yields strong returns in workplace relations.
