In 2013 the National Centre for Adult Literacy and Numeracy hosted a series of three symposia ‘Ki te whai ao, ki te ao mārama’. The key opportunities arising from the symposia were to encourage Embedded Literacy and Numeracy in Practice and Research, and to seek out and support leadership in practice and research in Adult Literacy and Numeracy. The overall goal was to encourage and support enquiry, experimentation and creativity that leads to the sustainable, reflexive praxis of practitioners, potential researchers and researchers in the field of adult numeracy and literacy.

This first wānanga of 2013, He Wānanga –‘Eke Panuku, eke Tangaroa’, aimed to stimulate thinking about the definitions of literacy and numeracy that include Māori perspectives about both literacy and numeracy and appropriate pedagogy and methodology of teaching and learning for adult learners in relevant training programs.
