Te Wero is the traditional challenge and rite of passage onto the Marae.
The significance of Te Wero in terms of tikanga and kawa (indigenous lore and practices) and is determined by the people.

Te Wero - Our challenge at the Health Promotion Forum Conference will include:
-  Challenging Health Promotion: What and who are we challenging?
-  Health Promotion: Opportunities or increasing inequities?
