From July 10th -12th, the Association of Pacific Staff in Tertiary Education (APSTE) celebrated over 30 years of Pasifika empowerment in tertiary education with a vibrant and enriching conference hosted by Otago Polytechnic and the University of Otago. The national conference brought together educators, leaders, and aspiring leaders dedicated to nurturing and developing the educational aspirations of Pasifika communities. The fono commenced with traditional ceremonies, including a Lotu and a Kava Ceremony.
Throughout the three-day event, participants engaged in insightful discussions on topics such as artificial intelligence, ancestral intelligence, revitalising Pacific languages, attended panel sessions, and celebrated Kiribati Language Week.
A special thank you to our keynote speakers who represented Otago Polytechnic: Megan Potiki, Patricia Quensell, and Mairead Fountain, as well as Matilda Garnett, Fa’ao’o Lale, Khyla Johnston, and our Pasifika mentors.
