Te Wiki o te Reo Māori

Māori Language Week

14-21 o Hepetema 2024 | 14-21 September 2024

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori - Māori Language Week is an annual celebration of Te Reo Māori promoted by the Māori Language Commission working with the Human Rights Commission and Te Puni Kokiri.

The week, usually held in September, highlights the opportunity for New Zealanders to 'give it a go'- to learn and use more Māori phrases in everyday life. 

The theme for Te Wiki 2024 is ‘Ake ake ake – A Forever Language’. It represents the resilience, adaptability and endurance of our language. It also reflects the commitment New Zealanders have to embrace and learn te reo Māori long into the future.
