Exploring Indigenous Perspectives of Physical Activity and Nutrition: An immersive experience to connect with self, others, and place.

**This hui (gathering) will take place on June 10, 2025.**

The hui is a three part wānanga (workshop) conducted on a Marae (ancestral Māori meeting place). Participants will engage in culturally grounded physical activities such as waka ama (outrigger canoe), and kapa haka (Māori cultural performance). Participants will also partake in hangi (traditional Māori food). Each activity will be followed with a kauhau (discussion) to delve deeper into Indigenous perspectives of physical activity and behavioural nutrition. This immersive experience aims to draw together practice and theory as a way to provide a fuller experience for participants to connect with self, others, and place.

Other workshops are still available.

If you have not booked one yet, we still have some places available for the June 11 workshops.

Planting trees at ISBNPA2025?

**This event will take place on June 10, 2025.**

Join us for a one-of-a-kind networking event – the [Kaipātiki Project], an innovative EcoHub growing a sustainable future for people and nature. They do this by empowering people, inspiring connection with nature and enabling sustainable living. Along with 1,000 volunteers annually, they run a thriving native plant nursery where they grow 40,000+ native plants every year and plant them back in the local reserves. They facilitate forest, stream and estuary regeneration activity, promote zero waste and encourage local food initiatives. By working together, we can restore our native plants, birds, bugs and fish.

Abstract

This webinar brings together the e-&mHealth and Ageing Interest Groups to explore the challenges and opportunities of using technology to support healthy ageing. We will examine the human factors influencing technology adoption among older adults and discuss how these insights apply to innovative models such as Health Smart Homes and the Ecology of Readiness.

Building on the recorded presentations available through the ISBNPA website, this live session offers Early Career Researchers (ECRs), Mid-Career Researchers (MCRs), and all ISBNPA members the chance to ask questions, share ideas, and deepen their understanding of how technology can enhance research and care practices for an ageing population.

We look forward to sharing our work with you and encouraging lively discussion. Please review the supporting presentations ahead of the session:
