2023 Youth Leadership Forum and Model UN Conference

Join us for an extraordinary journey that celebrates diversity, fosters leadership, and shapes a brighter and more inclusive future for all. Organised by the Global SDGs Group at UNA NZ Waikato and the Global Connect Group at Rototuna High Schools, this event empowers young people with the skills, knowledge, and values needed to thrive in an interconnected world.

You'll enhance your cultural competencies and leadership skills throughout the conference through thought-provoking discussions, diplomatic negotiations, and cultural exchange activities. Embracing Te Ao Māori, we create an inclusive environment that values all cultures and fosters appreciation for the indigenous traditions of Aotearoa New Zealand.

As a delegate representing a country in the simulated United Nations environment, you'll engage in lively debates, draft resolutions, and collaborate with peers from different countries to address pressing global issues. This experience will cultivate critical thinking and decision-making skills, preparing you to become an informed and responsible global citizen.

Furthermore, the event offers a unique networking opportunity, allowing you to build lasting connections with like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds. You'll develop effective communication skills and a sense of global responsibility by embracing diversity and connecting with others.

Join us at the 2023 Youth Leadership Forum and Model UN Conference to inspire young leaders, embrace diversity, and shape a better future. Let's foster resilience, expand our horizons, and become agents of positive change in our communities and beyond.
