Auaha Conference 2026: Unleashing Literacy through Creativity

Primary Drama Collective Aotearoa

A primary school drama and literacy conference led by teachers, for teachers on exploring creative approaches to literacy learning.

Auaha is a dynamic, teacher-led primary drama and literacy conference designed for teachers, by teachers. Created by experienced volunteers from the Drama and Arts education sector, with a proven track record of three successful conferences, this event offers a supportive and inspiring space for educators to explore creative approaches to literacy learning.

Through hands-on workshops, Drama experiences, masterclass demonstrations and panel discussions, participants will discover how drama-based pedagogy can strengthen literacy achievement, boost engagement, and build student confidence and creativity. Teachers are positioned as active learners, stepping into practical experiences while connecting theory with evidence-based research.

Join us for an uplifting and professionally enriching experience focused on literacy learning through creativity.
