Presenter at upcoming WIPCE Conference...

 

It's encouraging, but a bit daunting, that I'll be presenting at the upcoming WIPCE World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education, which starts in mid-November of this year.

The mobile App is now published, and conference attendees can check out all the keynote speakers and their profiles, as well as workshop presenters like myself, and the many activities and programmes that will be running alongside the conference.

There are many indigenous speakers, presenters and practitioners from around the world. It is also indeed a privilege to be attending, as I, along with nine others from our workplace of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, will be presenting during the week from Sunday the 16th of November to Thursday the 20th of November, which happens to be the last day of the conference and the day that I'm presenting in the afternoon.

The pic shows an example of the biographical information for each presenter. I chose to write about my indigenous roots in connecting with my parents' villages and my ancestral connections as well.

There is definitely some preparation that I need to make to ensure I'm ready for the 10-minute presentation, which includes 10 minutes for Q&A. That doesn't give a lot of time for information sharing which means that I have to be really pithy with highlights of main points. Wow! roll on November!...
