I have been selected to represent New Zealand across Europe on the Global Development Tour organised by United Nations Youth New Zealand.
Auckland
This tour would take me to seven leading countries that are fulfilling the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, allowing me to analyse and interpret how they have been implemented there and thus how to adapt and replicate those systems in NZ. Along the way, we would also be participating in the one of the most prestigious Model UN's at Columbia University whilst we are in New York, providing me with opportunities to grow and expand my skills in public speaking, negotiation and critical thinking - further prompting me to extend my knowledge on certain world issues.
Furthermore, this tour would allow me to view issues on an international platform and hence allow me to understand the complexities of global organisations and their impacts on various countries, especially focusing on how business and politics intertwine. I would like to return for GDT with experience and hope that can ignite change in our youth, specifically focusing on sustainable development in the Auckland region.
Funds raised will be used to help fund the $8,200 cost for this month long trip, helping alleviate the strain on my parents.
