Welcome to the 2025 Mindanao Young Leaders cohort who have had a whirlwind couple of weeks in Wellington, starting with a mihi whakatau from NZEI Te Riu Roa & NZCTU Te Kauae Kaimahi rūnanga, at the UnionAID/NZEI office.
From a rich panel discussion on economic inequality in Aotearoa, a busy schedule of classes, and a welcome ceremony at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington with New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Ōrongomai Marae, Upper Hutt, hosts, mentors & contributors, their time so far has been fruitful!
Nau mai haere mai, wishing Mindanao Young Leaders Programme cohort 2025 an inspiring and stimulating next couple of months in Aotearoa.
