A highlight of Semester 1 has been our first Talanoa session at the college. It was amazing to see so many residents come along, eager to learn about Talanoa and what it represents. We learned that Talanoa is a space for storytelling, listening, relationship-building, and connection, as well as sharing and trying Kava together. A huge thank you goes to Patrick, Rafi, Epeli, and Pio for guiding us and leading such a meaningful session. It was a fantastic opportunity to strengthen community and cultural understanding within the college.
