• Prime Minister makes a cameo appearance in Lifeswap episode

  ENZ had commissioned episode 10 in the Lifeswap animated series, which sheds light on the lives of (German) Jörg and (Kiwi) Duncan and offers a playful look at the cultural misunderstandings that can crop up when they live and study in each other’s country.

  The episode has a special cameo from Ms Ardern who voiced a line for the episode. ENZ timed the launch of the episode with her visit to Berlin and nabbed the perfect guest for the launch – none other than Clarke Gayford.

  To a cinema full of education agents, alumni and German students, Clarke shared anecdotes about studying overseas, Lifeswap creators and filmmakers Steffen Kreft and William Connor discussed their experience of studying in both countries, and ENZ’s Education Marketing Manager Europe, Olga Elli, spoke about the episode’s genesis.

  Covered in the Tagesspiegel and promoted on Study in New Zealand’s Facebook page (with more than 125,000 views as at 26 April), the animation is striking a chord.

  To give the campaign further legs, the episode will be shown in over 70 university cinemas around Germany over the next two months, screening as a trailer before feature films.

  Ms Ardern also visited the ENZ offices at the New Zealand Embassy in Berlin and agreed to be photographed with a kiwi soft toy (that lived in Olga’s office) to promote ENZ’s “Follow the Kiwi” scholarship aimed at German, French and Italian high school students.

  Ms Ardern gifted this little kiwi to Chancellor Merkel when they met later in the day.

• Massey launches pre-degree pathway in Viet Nam

  This is Massey University’s first pre-degree collaboration with a high school in Viet Nam. It will provide students at Nguyen Sieu School, as well as other schools in Hanoi, with the opportunity to begin a foundation pathway in Viet Nam that they can complete in New Zealand, before transitioning directly into degree study at Massey.

  Andrea Flavel, Director of PaCE, said the programme equips students with critical skills needed for their futures and exposes them to the different learning style and culture of New Zealand.

  “This programme is an example of the way PaCE works collaboratively with institutions around the world to create customised learning experiences that set students up for future academic success, and give them the opportunity to experience the best Massey has to offer.”

  PaCE also presented Nguyen Sieu School with a special scholarship worth NZ$20,000 to support students to participate in the pathway programme.

  The new Vietnamese Ambassador to New Zealand, His Excellency Ta Van Thong, and New Zealand Ambassador to Viet Nam, Wendy Matthews, attended the launch, which received nationwide news coverage in Viet Nam. 

  The first cohort of students will begin study in Viet Nam in July 2018, transitioning to study in New Zealand in February 2019.

• Indian students create their future in Wellington

  Brook Pannell, WREDA’s Talent, Skills and Education Manager, said although India is Wellington’s second largest source of international students, awareness of Wellington as an outstanding education destination in India remains low.

  “The Create Your Future campaign is a step towards changing this perception and opening up the Indian international student market for Wellington,” said Brook.

  “The video campaign uses Facebook to target 16 – 25-year-old tertiary students interested in creative and tech programmes who live in the regions of Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kochi, Pune and Kolkata.”

  The Create Your Future video follows an Indian student in Wellington as she starts her day in a student flat, heads off to university to meet friends and attend classes, gain work experience and graduate. 

  

  At the end of the video, potential students can register for a series of emails outlining more details about studying in Wellington.

  “Research shows that Indian students are particularly interested in studying in a city that feels global, is safe and clean and has strong work pathways.

  “The Create Your Future campaign ticks the right boxes by showing off Wellington’s creative opportunities to potential students and highlighting what Wellington’s safe, inclusive environment can offer them.

  There were 715 Indian fee-paying students enrolled for study in Wellington in 2016.

  AFS is a leading global organisation promoting international study, with education and volunteer programmes across 98 countries empowering people of all ages and backgrounds with intercultural knowledge, skills and understanding.

  Grant McPherson, ENZ Chief Executive, said the partnership reflects New Zealand’s vibrant international education ecosystem.

  “AFS has a well-established track record of fostering global citizens so we’re delighted to have AFS contribute its expertise to our conference discussions relating to global citizenship,” said Grant.

   “NZIEC delegates may be particularly interested in exploring practical ways in which they can implement global competence within their institutions at AFS’ two in-depth pre-conference workshops.”

  AFS New Zealand National Director, Doris Cuthell, is excited about showcasing the organisation’s expertise at NZIEC.

  “AFS is honored to be a programme partner at such an event as the NZIEC.

  This workshop explores the concept of global competence, why it is of growing importance and why your organisation should be engaging with it.

  You will have a chance to participate in experiential activities that enhance intercultural skills. We will discuss strategies for implementing these activities in different settings and identify ways to turn brief experiences into long-lasting learning for your audience.

  Pre-conference workshop 2: High-tech solutions for global competence programmes

  Research shows that merely coming into contact with cultural differences doesn’t develop global competence in students. However, students do develop these skills when taught within a developmental, experiential and holistic framework.

  This workshop offers three frameworks that can provide a foundation for your curriculum to build global competence in both inbound and outbound students.

• Indonesia's school influencer training

  Some 250 participants were trained across two days in Jakarta, with another 100 participants trained in Surabaya. They included counsellors and principals from high schools, vocational schools and madrassah schools.

  Karmela Christy, ENZ’s Market Manager for Indonesia, said school counsellors and principals are crucial to the development of their students. With this in mind, ENZ held training sessions delivered by the University of Otago and Otago Polytechnic.

  “This year’s programme was aimed at empowering counsellors and principals to support and prepare students for working lives that would need to adapt to rapid technological and social change,” said Karmela. 

  

  Matthew Carter (Otago Polytechnic) trains school principals in Surabaya Four Pillar Leadership.

  “The sessions emphasised that the role of the counsellor is not merely about subject choices but also about character and the development of the right soft skills." 

  The annual programme, which was first delivered in 2016, is a partnership with Fortrust Education which supports the coordination of all activities with schools in Jakarta and Surabaya.

  This year, ENZ also partnered with Jakarta Capital City Government. Jakarta Vice Governor, Sandiaga Uno, as well as New Zealand Ambassador to Indonesia, Trevor Matheson, were also involved.

• Talking employment rights with international students

  Lesley Brough, International Travel College (ITC)’s International Marketing Manager, welcomed Ms Kaloti to an international student lunch where Ms Kaloti spoke in detail about New Zealand employment rights, including contracts and the minimum wage and what to look out for to avoid exploitation.

  “Ms Kaloti’s message reinforced several of our values like inclusivity, fairness, and diversity,” said Lesley.

  “While ITC covers these important topics on a regular basis, it was good for international students to hear the same messages from an independent, unaffiliated organisation.

  “Now our students know they can also reach out to the Migrant Workers Association if they would like further support or guidance.”

  Ms Kaloti encouraged students to discuss these issues with their friends as they could be happening to someone they know.

  “It’s really important that our students feel empowered about their rights in New Zealand and are compelled to share this knowledge with their friends and family,” said Lesley.

  “The more we can raise awareness about these issues, the less likely it is that exploitation will occur.”

  Education providers interested in having Anu Kaloti speak at their institute can email migrantworkersnz@gmail.com.

• BPO Intelligence to make a splash at NZIEC 2018

  The innovative marketing and communications company works closely with many providers across the country, including 85 percent of universities in Australia and New Zealand, to aid them in their international marketing endeavours.

   “We are thrilled to be the lead partner for NZIEC for a fifth consecutive year,” says BPO Intelligence chief executive Naresh Gulati.

  “I encourage all conference delegates to head along and touch base with the BPO team at the Expo Hall.”

  NZIEC selling out – fast!

  In just two weeks we’ve sold over 50% of the available places at NZIEC 2018. That makes it our fastest selling conference yet – and we’re on track to sell out.

  NZIEC 2018 will be held on Thursday 9 and Friday 10 August at Te Papa Tongarewa in Wellington. Pre-conference workshops will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 8 August.

• Kiwi schools celebrate at SIEBA hui

  The Schools International Education Business Association (SIEBA) held its second biennial hui over two days in Wellington.

  Featuring more than 60 presenters, including author and television host Nigel Latta as keynote speaker, the hui was an opportunity for professional learning and a chance to celebrate the schools sector.

  Jennifer Kirkham, SIEBA Professional Learning & Development Operations Manager, was impressed by the involvement and enthusiasm from delegates.

  “It is a testament to the value they see in SIEBA events and activities, both for member schools and the wider industry, and also shows there is an appetite for greater collaboration.

  

  “We appreciated the willingness of sector presenters to share with their colleagues, as schools always love to hear what others are doing. 

  Another highlight was the presentation by lawyer Tim Conder on how schools need to change their contracts and disciplinary processes to align with the recently amended Education Act.

  “I think we all left the hui with long to-do lists,” said Ms Kirkham.

  To celebrate the sector’s success, six international education professionals were honoured at the awards dinner with SIEBA International Education Leadership Awards.

  Allan Goodhall from Mount Maunganui College and Grant Berry from Kerikeri High School, both on the eve of retirement after decades of service to the sector, received long service and outstanding contribution awards. 

  Lynda Sullivan from Rangitoto College received an award for innovation, and Terry Kraettli from Epsom Girls’ Grammar School, Barbara Charlton-Kelly from Newlands College, and Annemieke Hart from Tauranga Intermediate received recognition for their outstanding contributions to the school sector.

  Recipients were nominated by their peers and were all deserving winners.
