Nzisa - New Zealand International Students' Association

The New Zealand International Students’ Association is an umbrella body that brings together international student leaders nationwide. NZISA represents the collective voice among international students studying in New Zealand. The goal of NZISA is to address issues and concerns face by international students in New Zealand. NZISA is the bridge between students, education providers and policy-makers. NZISA conducts research into international education and best practice within the sector to help strengthen existing policies to better accommodate international students in New Zealand. NZISA works closely with the Ministry of Education (MoE), Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), Auckland Agency Group (AAG), New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) and the Human Rights Commission (HRC). NZISA is routinely engaged in the policy discussions for the International Student Wellbeing Strategy and Change Proposal for Post-Study Work Rights. Past engagements and consultations include the proposed International Education Strategy 2018 – 2030 and the Education Summit 2018. NZISA is an active advocate for international students’ welfare. NZISA has organised a Mental Health and Wellbeing Conference in September. The Conference aims to inform and empower international student representatives so that they can return to their student communities as advocates, change makers, and vessels of quality information. At the same time, NZISA is running a nationwide research and campaign against labour exploitation in New Zealand. The data gathered will give the general public a better view of the realities of working in New Zealand. Despite being a young student body, NZISA has achieved tremendous milestones, in particular, gaining the support from student bodies and government bodies. NZISA hopes to continue the good relationship with its partners, to bring better a quality of life for international students.

Te Pūtahitanga O Te Waipounamu

CREATING SUSTAINABLE SOCIAL CHANGE Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu is a Commissioning Entity that works on behalf of the iwi in the South Island to support and enable whānau to create sustained social impact. We do this by developing and investing in ideas and initiatives to improve outcomes for Māori, underpinned by whānau-centered principles and strategies; these include emergency preparedness and disaster recovery. Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu also invests in Navigator roles to support and build whānau capability. We work to respond to whānau innovation, to foster and grow inspirational ideas that are whānau-centered, intergenerational, locally driven and provide direct impact for whānau. Working alongside whānau to enable independent transformational change. We represent a legal partnership of Nga Iwi o Te Waipounamu, the nine iwi of the South Island: Ngāi Tahu; Ngāti Rarua; Ngāti Tama; Ngāti Kuia; Ngāti Koata, Rangitane o Wairau, Ngāti Apa ki te Rā To; Ngāti Toa Rangatira, Te Atiawa. This unique initiative is the first time, ever, that the iwi has come together for a common cause to trail blaze a new model that reflects the aspirations of ngā iwi as they relate to whānau. Our name represents the convergence of the rivers of Te Waipounamu, bringing sustenance to the people, and reflecting the partnership’s founding principle of whanaungatanga.
