Inspiration - Dr. Jean Mitaere and the Turanga Framework

I am so grateful to my sister-in-law who shared the Turanga Framework with me on the weekend. I have been hooked ever since. Over the week I have tracked down as much information as I can about the Turanga Framework and currently looking at how I can use this as a conceptual framework in my research. 

Recently, one of my students talked about the Ula Model and how he contacted the author for clarity around the model. I took a lead from him and contacted Jean this week to set up a zoom chat. Thankfully, she said yes! Both Jean and I spent half an hour on Friday afternoon chatting about our connections in Rarotonga and Wellington.
