For anyone looking to explore Samoan traditions, online courses offer a unique way to learn and connect with this vibrant culture. Whether you’re interested in traditional Samoan dance, language, or history, Measina's online courses provide valuable insights into each aspect of Samoan heritage. These courses are designed to be accessible to everyone, allowing you to dive deeply into the customs and stories that make Samoan culture so rich.
Are tired of not being able to access Samoan cultural knowledge from overseas? Our Siva Afi Beginner's course will help you feel the spirit of a Samoan Warrior and connect with Samoan history. Living overseas we are bombarded with western ways of life. Sometimes it is so loud that our connection to Samoan traditions and culture are suppressed. When Samoan warriors returned from war they told of their battles through ailao, the spinning and entertaining throwing and catching of Samoan war clubs. This art form has evolved over time to Siva Afi (Fire Knife Dance). Do you want to build your confidence and feel the strength of a warrior? Become a warrior today.
By enrolling in courses like Samoan language basics and traditional Samoan art, you'll gain a clearer understanding of Samoan culture’s roots and evolution. With Samoan cultural heritage often underrepresented, these courses fill an important gap, preserving and sharing knowledge that’s crucial for the next generation.
The Samoan Language Basics online course is designed for complete beginners. It will connect you to Samoan language. This simple, non-technical, audio based course teaches pronunciation and Samoan vocabulary through repetition and memorisation. Peter S Said "Measina's course made learning Samoan a breeze. It was perfect for getting started and being able to work on my pronunciation before my trip to Samoa."
Do you find it difficult to connect your children to Samoan culture living outside of Samoa? Tamaiti can help teach your child Samoan language and culture through fun and informative videos. We use arts and crafts, activities, play, singing, dancing and even yoga to teach your child Samoan words and Samoan culture. We also include a workbook that enhances the learning outside of the videos.
Tamaiti means children and this program is aimed at children aged 0 to 5 (although some older children may enjoy it too). We have an Early Childhood Educator Adviser to ensure what we teach is in line with Australian Early Childhood Framework. Also perfect for Child Care Centres wanting to introduce regular diverse content to their programming.
Beyond knowledge, these online courses also support Samoan creators and communities. So as you explore Samoan traditions, you’re not just learning—you’re contributing to the preservation of a culture that deserves to be shared with the world.
