  • Letter from the CE: Celebrating our success

    Following our terrific success at the New Zealand Direct Marketing Awards, we have now had some international award successes.

    Our Director of Student Acquisition, Euan Howden, has won a Marketo Revvie Award for Fearless Marketerfor leading ENZ’s database marketing transformation, and our Communications team has won a prestigious Gold Quill Award for ENZ’s efforts to build a greater understanding of international education in New Zealand. 

    We’re in good company – being internationally benchmarked alongside global heavyweights.

    But this work has not happened in isolation. We owe it in large part to our collaboration with many representatives from across New Zealand’s international education industry. These awards are also a result of your much-valued ongoing support and assistance.

    We had a clear purpose behind our approach: to provide the best support we could to New Zealand's education sector. Importantly, this work is well-aligned with the goals of our International Education Strategy and is a great reflection of our commitment to achieving sustainable growth, delivering an excellent student experience and fostering global citizens.

    We want to continue to deliver value to the sector, and always welcome your feedback. I encourage education providers and regional partners to attend ENZ’s ongoing industry engagement events and workshops. It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with our talented team, pick their brains and find out how we can help you in your efforts, from recruitment through to advocacy.

    I hope you’ll join me in congratulating our teams who led this work.

    On behalf of ENZ, we look forward to continuing to work together to make New Zealand a special study destination for students from all around the world.

  • Making global citizenship education a national priority

    The webinar – a collaboration between Education New Zealand and AFS Intercultural Programs – canvassed the concrete steps that policymakers and educators can take to put global citizenship front and centre in curricula, teacher education and daily practice. 

    Daniel Obst, President and CEO of AFS Intercultural Programs, said the essence of global citizenship is being able to understand how we are connected, listen to other perspectives and take collective action.

    “Global citizenship is not about stamps in passports, it’s about understanding our interdependence and our shared responsibility for our local communities and the world,” said Mr Obst.

    It is mission-critical that governments invest in global citizenship education and expand access to global competence if we are to tackle the challenges of the 21st century, he said.

    Around 130 experts tuned in for the ‘Making global citizenship education a national priority’ webinar – timed to follow the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit hosted by New Zealand in mid-November.

    Carla Rey Vasquez, ENZ’s Global Citizens Manager, said the New Zealand International Education Strategy 2018 - 2030 is an example of best practice in signalling clear government support for global citizenship and giving government agencies a roadmap to work with.

    “Fostering global citizenship is the glue that connects; is pivotal for raising the educational outcomes for both international and domestic students and helping us grow global connections,” said Ms Rey Vasquez.

    Other nations could follow the New Zealand example and broaden the focus of the international student experience from academic education alone to cultural and social values, she said.

    Romina Kasman, Head of Education Sector at UNESCO’s Multicountry Office, said global citizenship must be part of a holistic ecosystem.

    “Global citizenship education must not be left to chance if we want to ensure equitable and inclusive access to it worldwide,” she said.

    Lit Wei Chin, APEC youth representative and Auckland Unlimited’s Climate Change and Sustainability Executive, said the voices of young people were important to global citizenship.

    Young people cannot be just a tick-box – they must be heard on the issues of the global economy, quality education, climate action, equity and empowerment of marginalized communities, he said.

    Watch the full webinar – Making global citizenship education a national priority.

    ENZ’s webinar partner – AFS Intercultural Programs – is an international, voluntary, non-governmental, non-profit organisation that provides intercultural learning opportunities to help people develop the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world.

  • New Zealand China Mayoral Forum

    Education New Zealand is helping Local Government New Zealand to organise the NZ-China Mayoral Forum in Wellington at the end of the year.

    ENZ’s Regional Project Manager Sarah Gauthier said this year’s forum builds on the success of the first forum held in Xiamen, China, in 2015, which produced tangible outcomes for mayors from both countries.

    The 2017 forum theme is ‘Sustainable economies – balancing economic development with the environment’. Discussion topics will focus on tourism, education and primary industries.

    There will be a range of mayoral delegations attending the 2017 forum, with a special business forum and session being planned for business delegates on 3 December.

    ENZ is assisting with the education sector discussions, which will highlight the value of the education partnership between China and New Zealand.

    “We are eager to share how New Zealand exposes its international students to innovative ways of teaching and learning, while equipping them with the skills they need for career-ready and entrepreneurial futures,” said Sarah.

    Have something special to showcase at the forum?

    She said the forum is a great platform to promote innovative programmes, products and services that showcase New Zealand’s expertise in the education sector. Visit the LGNZ forum website for information about sponsorship opportunities and to download the sponsorship prospectus.

    Business forum and matching meeting

    The theme for the business-matching session is ‘Smart business for smart cities’. Meetings will be held on Sunday 3 December. Visit this link to view the forum programme and this link to register for the business-matching meeting sessions.

    The forum will be held on 3-4 December 2017 at Te Papa, Wellington. For more information, contact Sarah at sarah.gauthier@enz.govt.nz.
