UCSA O.Week 2021 | Te Whiringa [POSTPONED]

*** Update 15 February: This event is postponed until further notice due to the rise in COVID-19 alert levels in Christchurch. Please stay tuned to UCSA/Te Akatoki channels for updates on this event. ***

The UCSA and Te Akatoki presents Te Whiringa

Te Akatoki Māori Students’ Association is the formal body that represents all Māori students studying at UC. Whanaungatanga, Manaakitanga/Aroha, and Ūkaipōtanga are their uara, and they provide their students with a place where they feel culturally connected and safe.

Tauti mai ki Te Whiringa – join us for a night of cultural festivities! Treat your tastebuds to a selection of free Māori and Pacific kai (food) – a steam-cooked hāngi meal and delicious panikeke lapotopoto (Samoan pancakes). Come connect with the whānau of UC Māori and Pacific on campus, enjoy cultural performances and demonstrations from our Māori and Pacific community, then sit back and relax to watch a home-grown movie at our outdoor cinema.

Everyone is welcome, GF & V options available, and please bring a blanket for the movie. Tēnā, nau mai!

Location: The Amphitheatre (Wet Weather Venue – Ngaio Marsh Theatre)
