Background

Objective

A national initiative, the New Zealand Chinese Associations’ Leadership and Development Conference is a "live-in" seminar for people between the ages of 18 and 30 and aims to provide a fun, relevant and effective training experience that will enable young leaders to understand their unique identity as Chinese New Zealanders.

The delegates that attend this conference will be the future leaders of the New Zealand

Chinese community and it is the intention of the organising committee to create:

“Leaders that change the future”

The NZCA LDC will be a place for delegates to understand and realise their potential, throughout a 5 day conference that will involve a range of activities and guest speakers.

The conference offers an environment that allows delegates to acquire leadership and communication skills so that they can better serve their community, country and place of work as well as providing them with a better understanding of their Chinese heritage and the importance of their role in New Zealand’s multicultural society.

Accomplished guests from around New Zealand of various backgrounds will present their valuable knowledge on how to get the leadership edge in today’s society.

The date for the conference will be during the 6th to 11th February 2011 and is aimed at Chinese young people who have an interest in making a positive impact on the local Chinese community within Aotearoa and subsequently enrich their outlook on life both personally and professionally.

Programme

The varied programme will include presentations, indoor and outdoor leadership activities, as well as group and panel discussions.

A wide range of eminent and high achieving personalities will present on aspects of Leadership, Identity and Community, thus representing the theme of the 2011 conference.

Delegates will also undergo a Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator assessment prior to the conference so that a personal profile can be presented once they arrive.

A leadership project will be undertaken by the delegates throughout the week culminating in a presentation to a panel of guest judges.

The programme will provide an environment in which young people can develop their leadership, teamwork and communication skills.

The programme will include:

• Leadership through understanding, including an individual Myers Briggs assessment
• Practical life skills
• Leadership through understanding, wisdom and perspective – what New Zealand Chinese gained through the history of Chinese in New Zealand and our multiple identity as Chinese Kiwis
• Leadership in the community
• Leadership in business
• Leadership in action and sport
• Leadership through team work
• Building lifelong friendships with like-minded individuals
