About us

The Museum Education Association of New Zealand (MEANZ) has recently relaunched with a new name – Te Pū Tiaki Mana Taonga | Association of educators beyond the classroom.

This Association is designed to provide support, advice, professional learning and dialogue for all educators working in museums, galleries, zoos, aquariums and other groups in the community learning spaces.

Meetings

Over the COVID-19 period, the Te Pū Tiaki Mana Taonga team have been facilitating weekly webinars on a Wednesday at 11:30am to talk about how to support learners during this time. Webinars are now fortnightly.
