Nau mai, haere mai ki te NZELTO Africa Intake 17.
This intake brings together 28 scholars from Algeria, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Chad, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritania, Morocco, Republic of the Congo, Senegal and Togo, who are visiting Aotearoa for 10 weeks of English language study under the theme of International Diplomacy.
The scholars were formally welcomed at a lunch attended by representatives from the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Kāpuhipuhi Wellington Uni-Professional, and the English Language Institute at Victoria University of Wellington.
The scholars heard from Alex Shahryar-Davies, Special Adviser, Middle East and Africa Division at New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade, and Angela Joe, Director of the English Language Institute, before sharing kai and connecting with members of the wider programme community.
We're looking forward to supporting the scholars throughout their time in Aotearoa over the coming weeks.
The NZELTO Programme is part of the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme, commissioned by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade in partnership with Education New Zealand | Manapou ki te Ao.
