The LIANZA annual conference is on right now in Palmerston, New Zealand. Finishes the 26th of September.

Follow the hashtag #LIANZA2012, or for those without a twitter account you can follow the Coveritlive session set up by Hana Whaanga.

“Ipukarea – Celebrate, Sustain, Transform is the theme of the 2012 LIANZA conference. Ipukarea refers to the ancestral homeland, a significant land or water feature which relates to identity and source of livelihood. It is a place that represents our history, a place to which we have an emotional attachment, and a place where we go to be rejuvenated.” – Welcome, Linda Palmer, Convenor
