Mauri Ora: The Metrics of Flourishing, is being delivered by Sir Mason Durie. Sir Mason has decided that the time is right to step back from his public speaking roles after the delivery of this seminar which means this will be your last opportunity to hear Sir Mason deliver this incredibly popular workshop (ever!). While it is being hosted in Invercargill, we are marketing this seminar nationally to ensure that everybody who wants to participate gets to hear about it. continued...
Mauri Ora The Metrics of Flourishing with Sir Mason Durie Seminar Overview Compass Seminars is delighted to bring you the opportunity to spend a day with Sir Mason Durie who will discuss a range of topics relating to principles for working with Māori and Māori development. Sir Mason speaks with a freshness and clarity of understanding, if you have been fortunate enough to hear him speak before you will know that this is an opportunity not to be missed. Regardless of whether your professional focus is on prevention, promotion, treatment, education, rehabilitation or development, well-being is ultimately dependent upon the dynamic interaction of people with each other and with the wider cultural, social, economic, political and physical environments in which people live. Sir Mason will unwrap how Māori wellbeing is the product of these combined forces acting on the past and present experiences so that future prospects can be enhanced. Some of the key areas that will be discussed include:
