Māori Language Week (Kupu Māori)

Māori Language Week, known as Kupu Māori, is an annual celebration in New Zealand dedicated to promoting and revitalizing the Māori language. During this week, schools, organizations, and communities participate in activities that encourage the use of te reo Māori, such as language classes, performances, and cultural events. The goal is to raise awareness, preserve Māori heritage, and foster pride in the Kupu Māori (Māori vocabulary). It highlights the importance of te reo Māori as an integral part of New Zealand’s identity and culture, supporting ongoing efforts to ensure its continued vibrancy and accessibility.
