Your host
"Tēnā koutou katoa. Te Wānanga Aronui o Tāmaki Makau Rau (AUT) welcomes our global community to Tāmaki Makaurau and our university for the World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education in 2025. AUT has a deep, enduring and committed relationship with Māori and is committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It is with privilege that we host and welcome WIPCE back to Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time in 20 years with the opportunity to celebrate and foster cross-cultural exchange, rejuvenate traditions, and ignite innovative Indigenous approaches to education. As it is said in Samoa, ‘le malu le vai i lou finagalo’—may your mind be like cool water. We look forward to welcoming you all in 2025. Nau mai haere mai."
Toeolesulusulu Professor Damon Salesa, AUT Vice-Chancellor
“Kei ngā ihoiho o ngā iwi taketake o te ao, tēnei te reo pōhiri, haere mai, haere mai, haere mai! Greetings to you all and welcome. We proudly represent the Māori student voice at AUT and are honoured to work alongside our university on WIPCE 2025. We’re excited for the chance to uplift the voice of all Indigenous youth as we connect and engage with you, our Indigenous whānau (families) from around the world.”
