  • Thank you to NZIEC KI TUA Partners

    The conference was attended by 599 delegates and saw 42 sessions delivered over two days by 85 speakers, including expert panellists.

    Thanks again to our NZIEC KI TUA 2023 Partners; our Country of Honour: People’s Republic of China, CSCSE, Streamliner, Student Safe, Flywire, idpconnect, IELTS, Southern Cross Travel Insurance, Kiwiflora Nurseries, Yoobee College of Creative Innovation, Orbit Protect, Host Families, Christchurch Foundation and the Tui Corridor Project, University of Canterbury, University of Canterbury International College, Lincoln University and The University of Auckland. 

    Being the first in-person conference since 2019, connection was more important than ever and our NZIEC KI TUA 2023 exhibition hall was renamed The Experience Garden where delegates could do just that – engage, connect, and experience.  

    Delegates who visited the team at the Country of Honour’s Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE) table, were able to have their name written in Chinese calligraphy and learn more about studying in China.  

    Locally made ice cream was provided by Southern Cross Travel Insurance, barista-made coffee from Student Safe and a special tea café was brought to delegates by idpconnect and IELTS. 

    Delegates also had the opportunity to experience a virtual reality journey with Yoobee College of Creative Innovation. 

     

     

    Thanks to the Kiwiflora Nurseries massage relaxation corner, delegates also got a chance to rest with a neck and shoulder massage and relax in their cosy and tranquil waiting area. Kiwiflora Nurseries partnered with NZIEC KI TUA and the Christchurch Foundation and the Tui Corridor Project to help us in our commitment to sustainability; for every delegate registration, a native tree was planted, fostering a greener future for generations to come. 

    The Host Families photography headshots activation was a hit with over 80 photos taken by the photographer. 

    The Orbit Protect Better Health Quiz provided delegates with a little downtime and a fun competition as they went head-to-head in earning points for prizes.  

    And last but not least, much appreciation goes to our partner Flywire as the Education New Zealand Manapou ki ta Ao Tamaki Makaurau Auckland office now has a new piece of artwork based on the theme of ‘How collaboration will shape the future of global education’ for their wall. 

    Thanks to all our 2023 partners in making this year’s conference a great one!

    Arrangement with Japan Women’s University 

    An Education Cooperation Arrangement with Japan Women’s University (JWU) was signed on 22 April by Dr Ryoko Imaichi, Chancellor, Japan Women’s University Educational Corporation, and Grant McPherson on behalf of Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao.  The Prime Minister was also present and spoke at the event.

    The partnership with JWU will see more students from the university and its four affiliated schools come to study in New Zealand. Eleven university and school students from the JWU network attended the signing ceremony and spoke with the Prime Minister about their pre-COVID 19 experiences travelling to New Zealand.  

    This event came shortly after the Prime Minister met with her former homestay sister from over 30 years ago. The homestay sister also attended the signing ceremony, where the Prime Minister spoke about her personal experience of international education, including hosting homestay students in New Zealand and studying abroad at Arizona State University.  

    “Like Japan, New Zealand is a long island nation from north to south, and while being influenced by diverse cultures, I deeply sympathize with the historical background that has led to the present. Moreover, the current New Zealand society, which embodies world-leading sustainability, should be a great learning experience for our students,” Professor Satoko Shinohara, President of Japan Women’s University, said. 

    In Japan, there is a strong focus on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals at the national and institutional level. Gender equality has received more emphasis in recent years and the new arrangement is timely for many reasons, as New Zealand and Japan focus on reconnecting to look towards the future.

     

    Relaunch of Game On English

    The Prime Minister, alongside the President of Fonterra Japan, Yasuhiro Saito, and the Commissioner from Japan Sports Agency, Mr Koji Murofushi, relaunched the Game On English programme that had been paused due to COVID-19. The 2022 phase of Game On will see female rugby players travel to Hamilton to study English and receive high-performance rugby training, sponsored by Fonterra.  

    Originally launched in 2014, during former Japanese Prime Minister Abe’s visit to New Zealand, Game On English was an initiative that allowed New Zealand to support Japan’s efforts to lift international skills and English language capability while also supporting rugby skills development in the lead up to the Olympics and Rugby World Cup 2019. More than 195 female and male high school rugby players have visited New Zealand to participate in the three-to-four-week programme.

    Working Holiday Scheme students

    Former Working Holiday Scheme participants from Japan were invited to an event held at Cookie Time Harajuku (Tokyo) store. Several students spoke about their work or study experience, and a recurring theme was how New Zealand changed their life. Working Holiday visa holders from any country can study for up to six months while on a working holiday visa in New Zealand.

    There has been extensive media coverage of all three events in Japan, including via national newspapers and TV stations. This coverage will support ENZ’s promotional activities before the New Zealand border reopens on 2 May 2022 to short-term students from Japan, as a visa-waiver country.
