This joint NPM-Science Media Centre initiative provides an excellent opportunity for researchers to get comfortable communicating with the media. This is a chance for professional development and it is helpful for researchers wanting their research to reach the general public. Researchers will have opportunities to meet and interact with the media and will upskill their practical and strategic communication skills. Entry is by selection. Media SAVVY workshops are two-day, fees-free training by the Science Media Centre:

On Tuesday, 24 October, NPM and Te Wānanga o Waipapa hosted ngā manuhiri tūārangi Kristin Ruppel, Department of Native American Studies, Montana State University, and Coy Harwood (Blackfeet/Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate), Acting Director, Piikani Lodge Health Institute.

“Mana motuhake ki te kāinga. Matatū, Mataora, Matatini ki te ao.”

The Tū Mai:  Rongoā Māori Symposium reflects a pivotal time in the recognition of the mana of Rongoā Māori by the health and disability sector in Aotearoa.  This Symposium was inspired through working with the Rongoā Māori community as part of a Health Research Council-funded project, Te Ao Rauropi: Mapping the Biosphere of Rongoā Māori.

Media SAVVY workshop for Māori researchers is a fees-free workshop aimed at increasing the visibility of Māori researchers and impacts from their work in both mainstream and Māori media outlets. The workshop is facilitated by the Science Media Centre, in partnership with Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga.

In this quarterly webinar series NPM Co-Directors Professors Linda Waimarie Nikora & Tahu Kukutai will be leading a discussion on high quality research and evidence for interventions and policy.

For the first wānanga, Tahu will be taking a long term view over the pae (horizon) with some of NPM’s senior research leaders and discussing what needs to be done to realise the vision of flourishing Māori future.
