Track II – NextGen
How prominently does Asia feature in your outlook in life and career? How important do you believe Asia is going to be in New Zealand's future? The Asia New Zealand Foundation offers many opportunities for tertiary students and young professionals to kick start their future in foreign, trade and security policy through NextGen activity.
The Foundation's NextGen programme provides a foot in the door for younger people to get involved in Track II diplomacy
We’re keen to help grow a fresh, diverse and more representative generation of role players for regional Track II diplomacy and dialogue – by guiding, mentoring and coaching our emerging scholars and younger delegates to get the best out of what Track II can offer, both for their future career pathway and personal development.
In addition to participating in Track II dialogues and roundtables both on and offshore, we also offer postgraduate research grants, opportunities to attend/present at conferences, a range of workshops, and networking events to help grow and mentor the next generation of policy makers, scholars, and think tankers.
