Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories: histories and heritage sector hui
Aotearoa New Zealand's histories are being incorporated into the national curriculum. This year, we held histories and heritage sector hui as an opportunity for organisations to discuss the planned curriculum changes and what the changes may mean for their work and community.
About the histories and heritage sector hui
In March and April 2021, we welcomed representatives from histories and heritage organisations at a series of hui to support the sector to plan for the implementation of the Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum content.
We have taken on board the feedback we heard, and we are keen to continue supporting the sector as schools begin preparing to teach the curriculum content from February 2022.
There are a few ways we can continue to work together:
- attending your events
- sharing your networks
- providing updates and information about progress.
Events
If you are planning an event and would like us to attend, please email us. We will work with your team to send the right people for your event.

Networks
A common theme across all our hui was an interest in strengthening and creating sector networks to support connections with schools, kura, iwi and the wider community.
We’ve compiled a list of some of the networks we’ve been made aware of. If you would like to have your network added, please send us an email. We can also list your contact details if you are interested in setting up a new network.
Please note, some networks may have membership costs associated.
