Education in ASEAN 40 celebrations
Have you got stories relating to New Zealand’s long education relationship with countries in the South East Asia (SEA) region?
Let them be part of an exciting project that's taking place this year to mark the 40th anniversary of New Zealand’s Dialogue Partnership with the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).
A cross-government leverage and legacy team, led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, is looking for stories and photos that will bring the ASEAN : New Zealand relationship to life, and perhaps be included in a timeline that will tell this story in a compelling and high impact way.
We all know what an important role education has played in this relationship, and some of you may have your own experiences of this to draw on. If so, we encourage you to share them with the team, as they may be suitable for inclusion in the timeline project.
Stories and pictures that demonstrate the significant impact education exchange has had on all involved - on both a personal and national level - are most sought after.
If you have memories or stories, and accompanying photos or other visual material that tell:
-
of events/activities involving students from SEA countries in New Zealand
-
a ‘where are they now?’ story showing the path a New Zealand-educated student from the SEA region has taken
-
of personal experiences of studying with students from ASEAN countries, particularly those where enduring friendships or research partnerships were formed.
In the first instance, please write a brief description of the story or “moment” using the three questions below as a guide, and email it to Mandi.vanWeede@mfat.govt.nz. Please note that not all stories will be able to be included in the timeline, and someone will be in touch if there is any follow up required.
What took place? Include a brief description of the event/activity/experience.
-
When did the activity/event/experience take place?
-
Are there any images or other visual material that will help illustrate your story?
-
How can you be contacted should someone from the team wish to follow up on your story?
Please include your name and contact details.
