WORKSHOPS & COMMUNITY TRAINING
Introducing Voices of Wellbeing
Culturally Grounded Education, Awareness & Community Empowerment
Na Domo Ni Pasifika™ is developing educational and awareness workshops that aim to strengthen knowledge, confidence, wellbeing and community connections.
Our proposed Voices of Wellbeing framework brings together four interconnected themes: Voice, Wellbeing, Connection and Empowerment.
Grounded in Fijian cultural identity and informed by professional social work practice, bicultural understanding and strengths-based approaches, our workshops aim to provide opportunities for learning, reflection and practical skill development.
Our programmes welcome Fijians, Indo-Fijians, other communities from Fiji, Pasifika and wider communities across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our Four Core Themes
Grounded in Fijian cultural identity and informed by professional social work practice, our workshops bring together four interconnected themes designed to nurture wellbeing, self-advocacy, and community growth.
1. Voice
Advocacy, confidence & rights
Supporting people to recognise their strengths, express their needs, understand their rights and build confidence through self-advocacy and personal development.
2. Wellbeing
Holistic health & family wellness
Exploring emotional, physical, spiritual and family wellbeing, including stress awareness, healthy coping strategies and knowing when to seek support.
3. Connection
Relationships, culture & belonging
Strengthening respectful relationships, cultural identity, family connections and community belonging through awareness, communication and shared learning.
