    New Zealand’s stand at the expo featured three of the stunning kākahu (garments) at the heart of the marketing campaign. We were delighted that Kiri Nathan, who was the lead designer for the kākahu, was also able to attend NAFSA and spoke at the Thursday plenary event, sponsored by ENZ.

    Our marketing campaign is now well underway, with paid advertising in key partner countries supported by media releases, direct mail, social media, online video, programmatic display and other activities. It is driving a significant increase in engagement with our Study with New Zealand website, including many new users. You can view the campaign video and related images on BrandLab. 

    To date the campaign has reached 48 million people (this is a duplicate total across channels) and has driven 17,000 active visits to the I AM NEW campaign landing page. The Study with New Zealand website has seen 2,164 people sign up since the start of the campaign, with 754 referrals and 1,038 enquiries also registered to various institutions.

  • Teaching the teachers

    The School Influencers Workshop series focuses on new ideas in Early Childhood Education, English Language teaching and educational management and leadership. Originally planned to be delivered in-person, this is the first time the course will be held online.

    Members of the UC College of Education, Health and Human Development will deliver the online courses to more than 100 education practitioners and administrators alongside in-market organisations Teach for Indonesia and Teach for the Philippines.

    UC Associate Dean (International), Dr Stuart Wise, said “The College of Education, Health and Development at the University of Canterbury is delighted to support this initiative sponsored by Education New Zealand. We are very keen to support our colleagues at Teach for Indonesia and Teach for Philippines are looking forward to the opportunity to engage with course participants and share some of our expertise with them.”

    The professional development of teachers has been a key part of ENZ’s South East Asia engagement strategy since 2016.

    “The School Influencers Workshop series gives teachers and administrators a taste of New Zealand’s top-quality education by offering an insight into our hands-on teaching methodologies and contact with top academics,” ENZ Market Manager Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines, Desiree Lee, said.

    “Teachers, counsellors and school leaders remain a key group of influencers in a student’s study journey. They are an important group which ENZ will continue to engage as the international education sector recovers from COVID-19.”

  • Applications open for the NZ-China Tripartite Fund

    Revised as at 2 March 2021

    ENZ is committed to supporting New Zealand institutions to progress and grow their research opportunities in China. In view of the current global situation and based on interim reports from the 2020/21 Tripartite Funding recipients, ENZ has made the following changes:

    • The application deadline has been extended to Monday 8 March 2021 COP.
    • The following section in the application has been revised:
      • Funding is available for costs associated with mobility, meetings and small scale operational costs. Due to the current global situation, applications that include costs relating to research or overhead costs will  be considered for this round.

    Any questions please contact china@enz.govt.nz.

    ---

    University researchers are invited to submit proposals for the latest round, with up to $20,000 available per application to support quality, high-level research and collaboration. The fund seeks to initiate new tripartite partnerships and enable the further development of existing partnerships between a New Zealand university and two Chinese partner universities. 

    Eligible Tripartite Fund subjects can be drawn from the arts; humanities; social sciences; sciences and applied sciences; including agriculture; food safety; conservation; forestry; advanced materials engineering and environmental science.

    The fund was established in 2005 when the New Zealand and Chinese Ministries of Education agreed to formally support and promote tripartite relationships between Kiwi and Chinese institutions, in which a New Zealand university became the ‘third brother’ to an existing ‘two brothers’ agreement.

    This agreement was a first for the education relationship between New Zealand and China, and since then many other countries have followed New Zealand’s lead.

    To account for the impact of COVID-19 on mobility of research partners, the 2020/21 Tripartite Partnership Funding Round awarded five successful recipients of up to $20,000NZD in comparison to previous years where there were three recipients of $30,000NZD each. The selection panel will take into consideration the current context when deciding on the funding structure for the 2021/22 award round.

    “The Tripartite programme highlights our commitment to the strategic education partnership between China and New Zealand,” ENZ Director – Greater China, Miranda Herbert, says. “We are pleased to see university representatives innovating and adapting their research and communication methods to the virtual environment in order to maintain strong links with Chinese partner institutions and progress research projects despite the challenging environment.”

    The deadline for applications is 1 March 2021, with a project start date of 1 May 2021 through until 30 April 2022.
