Tahia te Ara: Decolonising Practice

Ann Milne Study Scholarships: ‘Identifying our White Spaces’

MENZA offered five $900 scholarships to cover the full registration costs of Ann Milne’s online Course 1: ‘Identifying our White Spaces’. This course was for anyone working in education settings who aspires to make real change for indigenous and minoritised learners. This course is about developing critical and culturally sustaining thinking beginning with how to identify ‘white’ spaces and helping teachers begin to decolonise their practice. Study was completed between April 1st and July 30th 2021. The course was about 50 hours of total learning time over the four months. These applicants studied self-directed online with some additional MENZA support networking opportunities. It provided opportunities to come together with others doing the course and to reflect on the learning in the context of music education in Aotearoa New Zealand.
