Aotearoa New Zealand is a country with diverse people, places, histories, and possibilities. Our past shapes who we are today, both as individuals and as a society. In this course, we will start by exploring identity and culture, then look at historical and modern factors that create similarities and differences between communities. As we learn about past events and their impact on today’s society in Aotearoa New Zealand, and around the world, we’ll better understand how the past connects to the present and imagine what the future might look like. What do you think Aotearoa New Zealand’s cultural environment will be like in 2060?
You will need a 1B5 book, access to a device, and a willingness to participate in discussions and a weekly quiz about what’s going on in the world.
