  • Victoria offering New Zealand’s first ethical leadership MOOC

    Ethical Leadership in a Changing World is the latest Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) delivered through VictoriaX, the VUW edX platform.

    The six-week course will teach students the theory and practice of ethical leadership, with a focus on organisations, through the New Zealand perspective.

    Course instructor Professor Karin Lasthuizen, Brian Picot Chair in Ethical Leadership in VUW’s School of Management, says the course will help learners explore the role of ethics in organisational decision making.

    “We focus on organisations in this course: exploring the role of ethics in organisational decision-making, analysing the actions of leaders from an ethical perspective, and helping learners apply these ideas to their own style of leadership,” said Professor Lasthuizen.

    “Drawing on case studies from New Zealand—one of the least corrupt countries in the world, according to Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI)— the course also features recognised leaders from the country’s public, private and NGO sectors to inform students about the main issues that ethical leadership should address.”

    This is the fourth MOOC for the VUW edX platform, which has a wide global reach. The platform has attracted well over 16,000 international learners to date, ranging in age from 10 to 90-years-old.

    The course follows Antarctica: From Geology to Human History and New Zealand Landscape as Culture: Maunga (Mountains), and Restorative Justice and Practice: Emergence of a Social Movement, launched last year, and New Zealand Landscape as Culture: Islands (Ngā Motu), launched in 2017.

    Ethical Leadership in a Changing World starts 3 July 2019.

  • New Zealand to be Country of Honour at the China Annual Conference and Expo for International Education (CACIE) 2025

    ENZ Chief Executive Amanda Malu was recently in Beijing attending the China Annual Conference and Expo for International Education (CACIE). There, as part of the announcement, Amanda gave a keynote speech at the CACIE Night gala dinner and highlighted the broad and important education links between New Zealand and China. New Zealand was previously Country of Honour at CACIE in 2015.

    CACIE is the largest annual international education event for businesses and students in China. Over 20,000 visitors attended the expo, with an estimated 5,000 people in the audience at the opening plenary.

    There are ample opportunities to showcase New Zealand at 2025 CACIE and leverage our COH status to raise awareness of New Zealand  through a strong in-person presence, New Zealand-focused events, cultural performances and media engagements.

    The ENZ team will work through peak bodies on feedback and input from the sector on the New Zealand presence and events at CACIE.

    In the meantime, keep an eye on the CACIE website where the 2025 dates and conference theme will be announced soon, or reach out to your ENZ Business Development Manager if you have any questions or ideas to share.

    Highlights from New Zealand’s presence at this year’s conference

    Amanda met with LIU Limen, President of the China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE). The association is the host and organiser of the conference. 

    ENZ partnered with Tourism New Zealand to deliver the New Zealand Study Tours: Engaging in Quality Education and Success Pathways roundtable session which was opened with remarks by H.E. Grahame Morton, New Zealand Ambassador to People’s Republic of China. It was well attended; it became standing room only in the seminar room.

    The New Zealand pavilion comprised of twelve New Zealand institutions. All eight universities, Te Pūkenga New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology, ACG schools, Pacific International Hotel Management School, and New Zealand Tertiary College joined ENZ on the pavilion.
