Outstanding ASEAN Alumni set for special project
The Education New Zealand team in Southeast Asia is currently busy putting together Alumni Voices.
A special project dedicated to promoting education ties between New Zealand and countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region in celebration of the 40th anniversary.
The project will involve 40 selected New Zealand alumni who have made significant contributions to their communities following their formative education experience in New Zealand.
The series not only seeks to celebrate already well known alumni personalities, but also to recognise the humble, quiet achievers. The project is designed to reflect the diversity of New Zealand’s connections across ASEAN, to tell transformative human interest stories about people galvanised by their education experience in New Zealand and to promote alumni as key influencers and ‘ambassadors’ for New Zealand education.
Having received outstanding nominations from across all 10 Southeast Asian countries, the team is now finalising the 40 individuals who will be interviewed for 50 profiles (10 broadcast and 40 written).
The interviews are set to get underway towards the end of this month, with the project to be completed by the end of June. From then on, ENZ will own the written and filmed content to use across multiple channels throughout the anniversary year.
