Public courses
-
We can run free public courses if a community organisation is willing to act as the host — providing the venue and a cup of tea for participants. There are no facilitator or resource costs; however, there must be a minimum of 15 people (NZ citizens and residents) and it must be open to the public. The free courses are the Making Sense of the Treaty 6 and 12 hour courses.
-
Venues must comply with OSH standards relating to the use
-
Individuals may register for a scheduled course (see Upcoming courses on the front page).
-
There will be a mileage charge for courses outside a certain radius of the facilitator's base.
-
There will be a charge to organisations if the target minimum number of people is not met, and in the case of late cancellations.
-
We can provide free courses within the Auckland region.
Other options
