Kete Kōrero: Drop-in Session
Location: Online
Kete Kōrero is a fortnightly drop in session for Māori business owners. Its a space for us to kōrero, wānanga and share insights/updates about our mahi in the Government procurement space. It is also a space to ask questions and share some of the challenges and successes you are experiencing. We know that everybody is busy so we’re keeping things pretty informal so the tamariki are in the background or you want to have your dinner while you listen - kei te pai tērā. These sessions are for you so we want to make it as easy as possible for you to attend.
