Wānanga 2026 Mana Ako × Project Rise

Prefer to kōrero with a person? No problem.

Not everyone wants to talk to an AI, and that is completely fine — it is actually useful data for our research to know that too. There is no preferred option. Every path contributes equally.

You can book a 30-minute conversation with Lian or Lee instead. We will cover the same territory as the AI conversation, just human to human.

This option is also available for anyone under 18 who wants to participate.

If you have already had a kōrero with a person and want to try the AI conversation as well, you are welcome to do that too.

How this works

  • We will cover the same territory as the AI conversation, just human to human.
  • This option is available for anyone, including those under 18.
  • After your kōrero, you will receive the same wānanga invitation as everyone else.
  • If you have already had the AI conversation, this is a great way to go deeper or debrief.
