It's an honour to present this workshop to you on the 10th anniversary of #HuiFono. This is my fiSh aTendance at #HuiFono and my first presenta>on. I started in the adult literacy and numeracy sector as a new tutor in 2007 with He Waka Matauranga in Auckland. We specialise in priori>sing Maori and Pasifika peoples' literacy and numeracy needs. I've been the Chairperson of its governance board since 2011. I knew the day I enrolled to do tutor training – my life would be enriched. From there I have worked as the only Pasifika na>onwide trainer for Literacy Aotearoa and was one of the co-authors of Ako Aotearoa's Pasifika Wave curriculum to help non- Pasifikahelp Pasifika learners in ter>ary educa>on. 1
These are the main points of my PhD research done in 2012- 10 focus groups of 38 young Pasifika people and 8 individual interviews aged18-25 in Auckland, Tauranga and Wellington Don't forget to use #HuiFono if you're on social media to share your pics, views and ideas about HuiFono!
