Pre-conference workshop programme

Making connections meaningful: how can Māori values and tikanga inform best practice for global health engagement? Facilitated by Professor Joanne Baxter, Associate Dean (Māori), University of Otago.

The aim of this workshop is to guide the Otago Global Health Institute philosophy and practice on global health engagement through insights from Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and Māori values and tikanga. Researchers wishing to participate in determining how Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Māori values and tikanga can be applied to strengthen their global health work through positive and more responsible engagement, are encouraged to register.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be aware of:

  • What approaches lead to positive global health engagement
  • Existing guidance for responsible global health engagement
  • How te Tiriti o Waitangi, and Māori values and tikanga, can strengthen connections in global health

Please note that spaces in the pre-conference workshop are limited. At registration you’ll be asked to provide a short statement in support of your attendance.

The pre-conference workshop is free of charge.
