As we mark Te Wiki o te Reo Māori and Aotearoa New Zealand Social Workers Day, we celebrate social workers across Aotearoa and the role of te reo Māori in our communities, workplaces and practice.

Whether you share kai or kōrero, or celebrate with your kaimahi, every action strengthens the social work profession.

Explore Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers’s events marking Social Workers' Day next week:
www.anzasw.nz/eventdetails/41755/whakanuia-te-wiki-o-te-reo-mori-me-aotearoa-new-zealand-social-w...This month, two occasions sit close together:
Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (14–20 Mahuru/September) &
Aotearoa New Zealand Social Workers Day (16 Mahuru/September).
One honours te reo Māori; the other honours the mahi of social workers alongside whānau and communities across the motu. Together, they're a chance to pause, celebrate te reo, and acknowledge one another.

This year we're inviting workplaces, organisations and kaimahi across Aotearoa to mark both in the spirit of Kotahitanga; and to show us how.

Kotahitanga is woven through social work: whānau, communities and kaimahi pulling in the same direction. It doesn't need to be elaborate. Share kai, kōrero in te reo, gather your tīma, decorate your space, wear your ANZASW colours, or simply take a moment to acknowledge one another. However it looks in your workplace, we'd love to see it.

Let's mark these two occasions together: celebrating our profession, weaving te reo Māori into our everyday, and acknowledging the aroha, dedication and collective mahi of social workers across Aotearoa.

He waka eke noa.
