Kristin student selected for prestigious UN tour 

Kristin is proud to announce that Year 12 student Angelina Ibrahim has been selected to participate in the prestigious UN Youth Aotearoa's Global Development Tour for 2025.

  

Angelina is one of 20 students from across New Zealand selected for this tour. The tour will take place early next year, visiting major cities at the forefront of sustainable development. This unique opportunity will allow Angelina to explore equality, sustainability, and global citizenship themes from diverse perspectives.

 

Among the various destinations, Angelina is particularly eager to visit New York. "We will be conducting a Model United Nations conference with students from Columbia University," she shared. Additionally, the group will engage with various UN organisations, including UNESCO, and visit the United Nations Headquarters.

 

Through the Global Development Tour, Angelina hopes to discover new perspectives, build international connections, and expand her knowledge of globally significant topics. 

 

Angelina is passionate about youth advocacy and aims to represent her community's voice, particularly concerning climate change and poverty. She looks forward to gaining diverse opinions that will enrich her perspective and enhance her leadership skills.

 

“I will prepare for this trip by researching the UN Global Sustainable Goals and identifying areas most important to my life and community. I will be preparing questions to ask ambassadors from global organisations to further develop my knowledge of different UN missions. I will also be researching the policies of different countries to prepare myself for the MUN session at Columbia University.”

 

Kristin congratulates Angelina on this incredible achievement and looks forward to following her journey as she represents New Zealand.
