Examine the Treaty of Waitangi's historical and modern relevance to our society and apply the Treaty articles to your professional practice.

This workshop, a combination of real time and online learning, aims to provide an environment in which people can explore Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi and its implications in a non-confrontational, participatory process.
