PARC: Pacific Knowledge in Action
Empowering research, training, and policy with Pacific wisdom to drive meaningful, community-led change.

Pacific Research & Frameworks

We design and deliver research grounded in Pacific knowledge systems—co-created with community, shaped by culture, and driven by purpose. Our methods are ethical, relational, and responsive to local and diaspora contexts.

Cultural Training & Community Engagement

We offer culturally grounded training, workshops, and community engagement strategies. From cultural safety to values-based leadership, we help organisations work meaningfully with Pacific peoples.
