Each year Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu holds a symposium to celebrate, learn and share the collective stories of Whānau Ora across Te Waipounamu

It provides a space to reconnect with one another, strengthen relationships, and above all to remind ourselves of the why behind Whānau Ora — seeing our whānau and communities thrive.

The theme for 2018 was tūtakitaki ngā waka, tūtakitaki ngā tāngata. The waka converge, the people converge.

See below for videos of the speakers from 2018 and their inspiring kōrero.
