World Indigenous People’s Conference on Education w/ Te Wānanga o Raukawa's Meihana Durie: 7 August, 2025

With World Indigenous People’s Day coming up this Saturday we had an opportunity to talk to Professor Meihana Durie, who is the Co-Chair of this year’s World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education this November. 

WIPCE is one of the world’s most significant gatherings for Indigenous educators and thought leaders, returning to Aotearoa for the first time in 20 years

It will bring together over 2,000 Indigenous experts and creatives from 20+ countries - all focused on education, language, climate, arts, and decolonisation.

Professor Durie is a leading voice in Māori education and kaupapa Māori health.

Producer Sanat wanted to understand how this conference fits into the broader global indigenous right’s movement so I started by asking Professor Durie about the conference’s kaupapa.
