Whakataukī of the Week with Shannon O'Connor

From Nights, 9:15 pm on 29 July 2024

Every Monday, here on Nights, to set the tone for the week, we like to have a guest on to share a whakataukī - a Māori proverb - that's meaningful to them.

Tonight, Shannon O'Connor, the founder and director Tōnui Collab, joins Emile Donovan.

Tōnui Collab is a charitable trust for the advancement of bilingual STEMM education. The team behind Tōnui Collab have recently been recognised at the Te Hapori Matihiko Awards for their contribution to advancing science, technology, engineering, mathematics and mātauranga Māori education.
