  • NZIEC 2018 to be held in Wellington

    That’s right, we’re heading to the Coolest Little Capital in the World, Wellington! 

    NZIEC 2018 will be held at our national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa, on Thursday 9 and Friday 10 August next year. We hope to see you there.

    The nature of our venue next year means we’ll be changing our standard programme structure to allow more time for delegate movement around the venue between sessions. This affords us the opportunity to Think New about how we structure our conference.

    If you have any suggestions for what you’d like to see at NZIEC 2018, please email Sam Mackay, ENZ Strategic Projects Manager, at sam.mackay@enz.govt.nz. We warmly welcome suggestions for speakers, topics, session formats – and more!

    We’ll be announcing the theme of next year’s conference in November when we launch our Call for Presenters. If you’re interested in presenting at next year’s conference, please don’t hesitate to drop Sam a line and we’ll add you to the mailing list.

  • An update from the ENZ Global Citizens team

    Introducing our Global Citizens Manager, Carla Rey Vasquez

    Carla joined ENZ in the new role of Global Citizens Manager, based in Wellington, in April. As part of her role with ENZ, she is leading the co-creation and implementation of the Global Citizenship strategy as a key enabler for international education.

    Prior to joining ENZ, Carla was actively engaged in cross-sector collaboration in her role at AFS, including educational institutions, experts, funders, peak bodies, and student groups – and had a focus on embedding and improving student experience and global citizenship outcomes across the AFS network for 12,000 students in over 60 organizations worldwide.

    ENZ's Global Citizenship team includes Senior Global Citizens Advisor Anna Dekker in a refocused role of Scholarships and Global Citizenship, and Global Citizens Advisor Tereska Thornton, who has a wide range experience across ENZ in various roles, including Acting International Market Manager for Korea and Japan.

    Over the past five months, the team have made some great strides in establishing the global citizens strategy for NZ, and some highlights from their work includes:

    Global Citizenship korero

    Two huis have already been held this year with educators, researchers, practitioners, change-makers and other supporters working on initiatives that promote global citizenship, and the related areas of global competence, intercultural learning, and intercultural competence. 

    The goals of the workshops were to: 

    • Map out the key players and activities within the Global Citizenship education field in Aotearoa New Zealand
    • Build a comprehensive understanding of the way in which organisations discuss and measure Global Citizenship, and values and frameworks unique to Aotearoa New Zealand.

    We are looking forward to our third session on 21 September. This session will be virtual due to current Alert Level restrictions but we hope to have another in-person hui before the end of the year.

    Please email Carla (carla.reyvasquez@enz.govt.nz) if you wish to be involved.

    Online connector event for Prime Minister’s Scholarship alumni

    We are planning our first ever online connector event for Prime Minister’s Scholarship alumni in November 2021.

    Building on the momentum of the recent Prime Minister’s Scholarship impact survey, the event will be run by alumni, for alumni and will focus on fostering connections within the alumni community as a basis for further activity. More details to be announced in the next E-News update so watch this space.

    Prime Minister’s Scholarship Programme

    The team has made the best use of the COVID-19 travel restrictions and lockdowns to undertake a Prime Minister’s scholarships improvement programme to increase access to the scholarship and streamline processes, ready for when travel is possible.

    Festival for the Future

    We attended the Festival for the Future from 31 July-2 August and were overwhelmed by the number of participants who were willing to take part in our survey on Global Citizenship.  The analysis of responses is going a long way to helping ENZ commence on developing a framework and set of definitions on global citizenship.

    We are currently working with Inspiring Stories to plan ENZ’s involvement in Festival for the Future 2022, so keep an eye out for further information.

    Global citizenship is a key focus for ENZ, as ‘Global Citizens’ is one of three goals in The New Zealand Government’s International Education Strategy 2018 – 2030 (NZIES). Ultimately, we are working towards a future where:

    • All students gain the knowledge, skills and capabilities they need to live, work and learn globally
    • International education provides stronger global connections, research links and partnerships for New Zealand
    • New Zealanders understand and embrace the benefits of international education

    We will make sure to keep you updated of the work in this space.

  • Marketing tips for schools

    These topics and more were discussed during The Crowdsource Café session, led by ENZ Business Development Managers Mary Camp and Richard Kyle. The session tapped in on the wealth of experience in the audience by pooling together practical ideas for improved marketing of schools.

    Working in groups, participants shared key tactics they use to nurture meaningful relationships with students, school staff, agents, the local community and alumni.

    “Participants all agreed that our industry is built on relationships. They left the session with the challenge of taking away one thing they could action in the next week. No better time than now to get that action going!” Richard said

    “It’s also great to remember that the ENZ Skills Lab is a rich resource that schools can use, with many tools that take you step-by-step through marketing projects (including digital marketing and PR),” he said.
