KIA ORA [SAY: KEE-ORA], SKETCHERS! THAT’S “HELLO” IN MĀORI, ONE OF THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGES OF NZ.
Aotearoa [say: Aye-o-te-a-ro-a] is the Māori name for our country, and it means “the land of the long white cloud” – pretty beautiful, aye? Let’s sketch clouds! The Auckland Symposium is just around the corner so here we give you a sample of what NZ has to offer, with help from our valued partners Tourism New Zealand. NZ is a long way to come for so many of you, so make sure you check out USk Travel Hub for more great advice. Now turn the page for our workshop instructors!
