NZIEC 2018: Register for AFS pre-conference workshops
The partnership will see AFS deliver breakout sessions throughout conference as well as two pre-conference workshops exploring the conference theme of Inspiring Global Citizens.
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.
“We invite NZIEC delegates to join our pre-conference workshops and conference sessions for an opportunity to explore the area of global competence, which is a crucial component for any quality international education programme.”
In addition to its breakout and pre-conference sessions, delegates can connect with AFS at their stand in the Expo Hall.

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.

Europe agent promotion fund winners
Four creative and innovative projects from agents across Europe were selected for ENZ Europe’s 2018 Agent Promotion Fund.
Content: Olga Elli, ENZ’s Education Marketing Manager – Europe, said the fund of 2,500 EUR supports creative and innovative projects that promote New Zealand as a world-leading study destination.
“We received a number of really exciting proposals from agents across Germany, Italy, Spain and France,” said Olga.
“While only four agents were awarded funding to implement their ideas, it’s encouraging to see the enthusiasm and creativity in this market from agents eager to send students to New Zealand for an excellent education experience.”
The winners of the 2018 Agent Promotion Fund are:
This agent will use funding to support the Kiwi-Cup Hockey Tournament in Hamburg in June, which more than 300 students aged 11-14 years old attend. Hausch & Partner believe that education and sports have always been a winning combination, and that this tournament is a great opportunity to promote New Zealand to these students.
This agent will implement a digital promotion package via Facebook, LinkedIn and a New Zealand blog. As a new agent promoting New Zealand, they have found that online campaigns offer some of the best results and conversions in the Italian market.
This agent will implement a digital promotion campaign in France through social media channels, newsletters and alumni stories. They plan to use ENZ key messages to promote the significant benefits that students can gain from studying in the New Zealand education system.
Under the title “Please don’t disturb – I’m already in New Zealand!”, this virtual reality project will introduce VR headsets to their stands at the 45 international education fairs they attend in Germany each year.

Introducing NauMai NZ
ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson is pleased to announce the launch today of a new digital platform, NauMai NZ, to support international students as they transition to a new culture and life in New Zealand.
NauMai NZ reflects the Māori concept of manaakitanga, Grant said.
“Our culture of care and respect for all visitors is incredibly important. We are therefore delighted to launch this first phase of NauMai NZ, which supports the first six months of the international student journey, a time when students need extra help.
“We are proud that the majority of students have a fantastic, often life-changing, time in New Zealand. We want this to be the case for every student.”
The content and design of NauMai NZ is the result of research-based insight. It includes advice on working in New Zealand, culture and lifestyle, accommodation, healthcare and wellbeing services.
“Students have been telling us that they need to know where to get reliable, up-to-date information about living and studying in New Zealand, and NauMai NZ provides this.
“This is a generation that is online 24/7 – and NauMai NZ has been designed to provide useful information at their fingertips.”
The first phase of NauMai NZ provides a trusted government source of information that students need in a clear and accessible way. Ultimately, the platform will provide personalised support for students throughout their study, extending beyond graduation to work and a career.
“It is a privilege to host visiting students and we all have a responsibility to look after them.”
The New Zealand International Education Strategy 2018-2030 was launched in August 2018. NauMai NZ aligns with an action in the Strategy – to improve the availability of clear, timely and customer-focused information about education and immigration to students and providers.
NauMai NZ also embodies the objectives of New Zealand’s International Student Wellbeing Strategy by providing content connected with the social, cultural, community, health and wellbeing needs of international students.
The development of NauMai NZ is being led by ENZ in collaboration with Immigration New Zealand, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Ministry of Education, and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.
The platform is fully integrated with ENZ’s wider digital ecosystem, including its platform and analytics capability, providing a new layer of support for the international student journey.
