Keeping culture alive, one story at a time – Pacific Kids Learning

What started with a vision to connect Pacific children with their language, culture and identity has grown into something much bigger.

Founded by māmā and led by Pacific values, Pacific Kids Learning (PKL) is finding new ways to bring Pacific stories, languages and cultural knowledge to life. Through intergenerational storytelling, animation and innovative technology, PKL is creating engaging, culturally affirming content that connects Pacific youth with their heritage.

At the heart of its mahi is a commitment to creating content that is for Pacific, by Pacific and about Pacific. Working alongside communities to shape important stories from concept to content, PKL is building a growing digital space where Pacific languages, identities and cultural foundations can be celebrated and shared with the next generation.

Hear from the founders and PKL team as they reflect on the journey so far, the people and experiences that have shaped their kaupapa, and the impact of creating something that puts Pacific culture at its heart. Featuring moments from across the years, this is a look at the vision, passion and mahi behind an initiative helping ensure Pacific stories continue to be told for generations to come.

E sui faiga, ae tūmau fa’avae – methods may evolve, but the foundations remain the same.
