Aspiring Leaders' Forum
Waikato Management School is offering two $1,500 sponsorships for students to take part in the Aspiring Leaders’ Forum. Applications close Friday, 12 April 2019.
The Aspiring Leaders’ Forum (ALF) on faith and values will be hosting their fourteenth forum on 27 - 30 June 2019 in Wellington. The annual event brings together a diverse group of committed and courageous young leaders from across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Guided by facilitators and esteemed national leaders, young people discuss leadership, faith and values over four days.
While Members of Parliament host aspects of the Forum, the focus is not purely politics. Instead it is about encouraging young people to become better leaders in their sphere of influence - be it community, arts, business, politics or sports.
Programme
Highlights include:
- A day spent in Parliament House
- Keynote addresses from senior politicians
- Keynote addresses from inspiring leaders of varying societal spheres
- Small group discussions
- A community service project
- A sports afternoon and an epic barn dance
Sponsorship to the value of $1,500 per student will cover the Forum registration fee (includes accommodation and meals for the duration of the Forum)
