This September, the Recruitment and Talent team at Auckland Council are signing up to complete the ‘Mahuru Maori’ Challenge.
The Recruitment and Talent team at Auckland Council, are taking on ‘Mahuru Maori’ to flex on their matauranga and develop their confidence to korero i te reo Maori, and are encouraging others to do the same.
When Mereana Gell returned to Aotearoa after many years overseas, she felt out of touch with te ao Māori. So Mereana set out to learn and change her old way of thinking.
“I want to make sure, for the sake of our mokopuna, te reo Māori is revitalised in our whānau. I want to greet my future moko in te reo Māori when they arrive.”
“Your journey will be your own and it will look different to others. You may have bursts of progression, then years of nothing. That’s not a failure, it’s just the nature of the journey.”
