Māori & Pacific cultural competency program
Digital Moana is an innovative 'ready-made' program from indigenous design experts The Culture and Design Lab which aims to raise the awareness of Māori and Pacific cultures among your employees that are either working; remotely, in office or deskless.
Māori and Pacific peoples make up a high percentage of the kaimahi (workforce) in New Zealand, and while organisations are increasing their diversity and inclusion efforts, there is still a lot of mahi (work) to be done.
The Digital Moana program introduces employees to a range of Māori and Pacific perspectives and aims to achieve a basic understanding of Indigenous diversity:
- The Treaty of Waitangi
- Tikanga Māori and cultural values
- Pacific customs and cultural values
- Introduction to the main Pacific cultures in New Zealand, their languages and relationships with New Zealand
“Cultural competency is something most organisations want to roll-out, but they don’t know how or aren’t
resourced to do so. Digital Moana makes it simple to deploy interesting, culturally-sensitive, inclusive content within your
workplace.”
