Podcast – Revitalising Te Reo Māori

Christchurch City Libraries blog hosts a series of regular podcasts from New Zealand specialist human rights radio show Speak up - Kōrerotia. This show is created by Sally Carlton.

Whakahaumanutia! Te Reo Māori is classified as an endangered language but is currently experiencing a real boom. What is being done to harness this enthusiasm? How can we work to ensure Te Reo and its associated tikanga survive?

Part II: What is being done to revitalise Te Reo?
Part III: The importance of active / formal learning for the survival of the language
Part IV: What would you like to see happen to support the continued revitalisation of Te Reo?
