The Institute would like to congratulate those who have been selected to attend this year’s round of the United Nations climate change negotiations in Warsaw, Poland in November.
Well done to Jerome Cameron, Lisa McLaren, Saskia McCulloch and Natalie Jones!
This weekend our Pacific Youth and Sports Conference delegates met for the first time. Their Training Weekend was held in Auckland, and hosted by Papatoetoe High School.
The delegates’ conference will focus on ways in which sport can be used to make positive change in health, education and social inclusion outcomes in their communities. To help them understand these issues in a New Zealand context, they were joined by a number of experts over the course of the weekend.
Other highlights included team building (building spaghetti and marshmallow towers), learning about effective fundraising, a morning sports session, and brainstorming in the delegation’s project groups.
The Institute would like to extend its special thanks to the following speakers:
For their awesome support, thanks too to:
The team at the Aotearoa Youth Leadership Institute is excited to announce the selection of its first international delegation.
In December, we will be sending 31 young leaders aged 16-25 to the Pacific Youth and Sports Conference in Noumea, where they will learn all about how sport can be used as a tool for social change. Once they return home, these delegates will work with our delegation partners Aotearoa Football Confederation Trust, P3 Foundation and UN Youth New Zealand to create changemaking projects in their communities.
With exciting themes like health, education and capacity building and social inclusion, we can’t wait to see what they come up with!
