Apply now for the Sister Cities New Zealand Youth Tour

The 12 selected students will visit Shanghai, Beijing, and Xiamen in the April 2017 school holidays.  They will experience different aspects of life in China, including central and local government, culture and heritage, language, education, and trade and enterprise. Students will also be given an overview of the New Zealand-China bilateral relationship and will be provided with opportunities to discuss and share their experiences both during and after the tour. 

Applications are open now, with delegate information packs and a guide on how to apply are available at www.sistercities.org.nz/youthtour. All Year 12 and 13 students enrolled at a high school in the Greater Wellington region in 2017 are eligible.

Applications close Friday 10 February, but earlier applications are strongly encouraged as acceptances take place on a rolling basis.
