Aotearoa New Zealand is changing. The relationship between the inequities iwi Māori face and centuries of colonisation is clear. The need to address these inequities and the embedded colonial thinking that reinforces them in our society is more widely accepted. Nowhere is this need for change more acute than in education. The challenge of embedding bicultural principles into all aspects of education is a significant step in decolonising education. The practice of learning design and the design of frameworks that guide education rarely have a clear process to support a bicultural approach. This case study uses participant narratives to describe the development and delivery of a workshop to establish how bicultural principles will be embedded into the design of a sustainability strategic framework within an Aotearoa higher education context. This process can provide a starting point for a range of design processes to integrate bicultural principles more readily, thus supporting the decolonisation of education in Aotearoa.
