This workshop will provide you with a better understanding of the ancient worldviews and philosophies underpinning contemporary Pacific cultural understandings and practice. It is the perfect introduction to Mana Moana.

The content is aimed at sharing ancestral concepts and understandings that add value to team-building, more effective meetings, relationship building, and dispute resolution in the workplace. We will teach unique tools, policy development and project management approaches, and systems frameworks, based on core concepts from the Mana Moana canon. It will give you and your teams a new – but ancient – shared language to optimise the way you work, relate to each other and achieve your goals. 

A written introduction to the material covered will be supplied, as well as PDFs of relevant published articles relating to contemporary challenges. In this workshop there will be an emphasis in understanding ways that people of all cultural backgrounds can relate, make decisions, policy and set strategy for – and with – Pacific peoples.  

The flow of the programme allows an opportunity for information to be digested and integrated via activities, powerpoint presentations, small group work, open dialogue and individual reflexive exercises.  This is an interactive and experiential one-day workshop perfect for professional development for work groups, community groups, and across whole of organisations, facilitated by Dr Karlo Mila and a member of the Mana Moana team.
