Te Pūaha Talks has an exciting range of online capability workshops and webinars scheduled for the coming year. This programme of free events, supported by Foundation North, has been designed and curated based on what people working in social impact have told us they want.

Each event is an opportunity to learn from people who are leaders, innovators, and influencers in their areas of expertise. The aim is to help participants build their knowledge and confidence to apply what they learn to their own community organisation or area of practice.

Recordings of the webinars will be available online through Te Pūaha o te Ako, alongside additional resources such as templates and links to related sources of information. Explore past Te Pūaha Talks recordings and resources on the knowledge hub here.
