2012 Pasifika Symposium

Enhancing Aspirations of Pasifika Communities through Literacy, Language and Numeracy

The National Centre of Literacy and Numeracy for Adults is very pleased to advise that the Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) will host the inaugural Pasifika Literacy and Numeracy Symposium on Friday 30 November 2012.

The Symposium is a professional dialogue event. An inspirational keynote presentation will be followed by a series of workshops formatted to balance content presentations and reflection. Our desire is to create an event where participants actively:

• Plan how to enhance Pasifika communities' literacy and numeracy capabilities
• Revitalise Educators of Pasifika communities
• Reflect on how to shape workplace literacy and numeracy practices
• Explore ways of using diagnostic information to develop appropriate pedagogies
• Consider ways of optimising the use of Assessment Tool
• Share with fellow practitioners what is working in their learning environments (quick flicks)

Attendance at the Symposium is free, however numbers are limited. To secure your opportunity to meet with colleagues who are active in the literacy and numeracy field and who share a passion for supporting Pasifika people to realise their full potential register now.
