Happy Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa | Samoa Language week 2023!
This year’s theme is ‘Mitamitai lau gagana, maua’a lou fa’asinomaga’ which means ‘Be proud of your language and grounded in your identity’.
Our Samoan population in New Zealand is one of the fastest-growing populations and it is the largest Pacific group, representing 47.9% of all Pacific people in the country.
Gagana Samoa is New Zealand’s third most spoken language – following English and Te Reo Māori – and the second most spoken language in Auckland.
For everyone interested working with Pacific peoples, remember to sign up for our Moana Connect Fofoga Workshop below! This workshop provides key insights you’ll need to collaborate with communities, develop RAP proposals, and win big at HealthTech Week. Sign up now: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DYBTBWD
