Welcome to L&D Week 2025!

8 - 12 September

Tahu Mātauranga: Sharing Knowledge and Wisdom

Through this year's theme we're acknowledging how fostering collaboration and sharing insights can create a more inclusive and innovative L&D community. L&D Week is dedicated to sharing knowledge to grow the profession, ensuring we all benefit from collective wisdom. This also connects to our conference theme, Tahu | Ignite: Ignite learning, spark change, which encourages us to think differently about solutions to L&D challenges, and drive meaningful change through collective effort.

  • Tahu: This means "to know" or "to understand."
  • Mātauranga: Refers to Māori knowledge, wisdom, and ways of knowing. It encompasses a vast range of knowledge, including traditional practices, environmental knowledge, history, language, and cultural values.

Get involved!

Head over to our LinkedIn page to take part in these great L&D Week activities!

The L&D Dilemma


At 8:30am each day this week, we'll be posing a new question via a poll on LinkedIn. 

Share your views! 

We'll collate the results and share them with you the following week! 

My L&D Soundtrack


Share a song or podcast that uniquely inspires your work, helps you focus, or embodies a key learning principle for you. Include a brief explanation of why that specific track or podcast resonates.

We'll collate the responses and share a playlist the following week! 

L&D Through my Lens

Share a single photo that represents a key aspect of your L&D work, a favourite learning tool, your ideal learning environment, or even a visual metaphor for a learning concept. Include a short, insightful caption.

We'll share some of our favs the following week. 

Plus everyone that shares using the hashtags #nzatd and #LnDWeek2025 will go into the draw to win a prize!

Celebrate L&D Week in the office!

Let people know it's L&D Week and encourage them to take a look at what their amazing L&D team (even if it's a team of one!) has to offer by putting up some cool posters.

Why L&D Week?

It's all about value.

It can be challenging to gain support for L&D initiatives if their value isn't clear. That's precisely why investing in Learning & Development (L&D) is crucial. A skilled and empowered workforce fosters innovation, drives efficiency, and enables business success.  As L&D professionals we know this. 

L&D Week is your opportunity to celebrate the transformative power of continuous learning and the vital role it plays in shaping the future of our organisations. 

Whether you’re a seasoned L&D pro or just dipping your toes into the world of L&D, this week is all about celebrating YOU and the incredible work you do. 

So, join us in sharing knowledge, sparking change, and building a thriving L&D community.
