“[Since doing the course] "I am really thinking about my own cultural identity, starting to acknowledge the degree of white spaces around me and thinking of ways to ensure non-Pākehā feel valued.”

— Mel Davies

Want a taster of the courses?

A compelling and often challenging tool you’ll encounter is the Seven Steps assessment that is designed to audit your school’s white spaces. I’ve made this available online for free to give you a taste for what to expect in the course and as a tool you can share with your colleagues—and perhaps do as a team.
