Learning the iTaukei culture through traditional handicraft skills will connect you to your past, present and future, says Minister for Education, Heritage, Culture and Arts, Dr Mahendra Reddy.
A government statement released this afternoon stated that Mr Reddy was speaking at a three-day workshop aimed at preserving and promoting traditional iTaukei methods of pottery making, masi and tapa design and handicraft skill.
Organised by the Fiji Museum in collaboration with the Department of Heritage and Arts and the Fiji Art Council, the workshop, is organised for school children and aimed at transferring the knowledge of these methods to Fijians to ensure the sustainability of these cultural practices, it read.
