Our Toloa (participants) of the Pasifika Philosophies Course

It is a privilege to introduce one of our own, Sirino Rakabi, from the Regional Institute for Leadership Development (RILED), an institute of the Pasifika Communities University (PCU). As part of the upcoming Pasifika ‘Whole of Life’ Philosophies for a New Development Consciousness course in Toloa, Fiji, Sirino brings a strong commitment to Indigenous knowledge grounded in the wisdom of vanua and Pasifika worldviews. He looks forward to engaging with the region’s collective insights and reflecting on his identity “in light of the ways of knowing and being within vanua and Pasifika, especially as a family of Vanua.” We’re honoured to walk this journey with him in a shared space of learning and transformation.
