What is manaakitanga?!
Manaakitanga
Mana being the important part here using manaakitanga means that you are lifting the Mana of yourself and of those around you. It's about take care of one another. It is about being a good host and making people feel welcome.
A big part of this for us has been thinking about what manaakitanga looks and feels like for us as kids. We explored this more closely on Wednesday through role play. The students acted out scenarios (provided by them) in which people showed (or failed to show!) manaakitanga.
Most solutions involved getting an adult, we wondered what are some other solutions we know? We are looking forward to exploring this concept more in the coming weeks.
Please continue on the conversation at home, what does Manaakitanga mean in your family? What does it look like?
