In this video, consultant psychiatrist Dr Kiri Prentice (FRANZCP) explores what makes a good and fruitful wānanga (deliberation and learning together). Dr Kiri Prentice is Māori and belongs to the iwi (tribes) of Ngāi Tūhoe and Ngāti Awa. The video outlines the four core elements of wānanga: kaupapa (subject/purpose), whanaungatanga (relationships), tikanga (right way of doing things), and wānanga (deliberation and learning together). It introduces key Māori learning concepts including ako (learn/teach), wheako (experience), tuakana–teina (older–younger sibling relationship), and wā (time). Using the pūrākau (story) of Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatūānuku (Earth Mother), the video examines different roles and perspectives in group learning and decision-making, and shares a whakataukī (saying) about how understanding becomes fruitful. The video concludes with some prompts for groups to wānanga together, to deepen their own shared learning experience. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Hook 00:16 Introduction 00:35 What’s Coming Up 00:47 Wānanga 01:40 Pūrākau (Story) 04:00 Māori Learning Philosophies 05:54 Wānanga Essentials 07:37 What Makes a Good Wānanga 09:17 Wānanga Prompts 11:09 Outro 🎥 CREDITS & ATTRIBUTION Stock Footage & Video Clips - Storyblocks, Archives New Zealand (official YouTube channel) Images & Graphics - Pixabay, Pexels, Wikimedia Commons Music & Sound Effects - Artlist
