“Supporting our children to learn about each other’s culture will help strengthen ties with their family, culture and community”

VILLAGE Sessions: Bringing Cultures Together Through Music, Movement & Connection

Our VILLAGE sessions create a vibrant space where families with young children (ages 0–8) come together to celebrate culture, creativity, and community. Held at libraries, community centres, venues, and local parks through partnerships with community organizations and local councils, these sessions bring the magic of Tui n Friends directly to your neighbourhood.

Running in alignment with school terms, families can join us for 30–45 minute sessions filled with interactive music, movement, and storytelling that inspire learning and laughter.

What to Expect

Each session blends traditional and original songs with diverse melodies and rhythms from across the South Pacific islands and beyond. We create moments of singing, dancing, and sharing stories where families connect, share knowledge, and celebrate together.

At Tui n Friends, we bring different cultures together in a fun, engaging way that supports language development, social skills, and cultural awareness. Our sessions help children feel safe, respected, and excited to participate—and parents love seeing their little ones sing, dance, and learn.
