Congratulations to Emma W who has been selected into the Blake Inspire programme! Blake Inspire is an annual opportunity open to young New Zealanders and is a residential leadership development programme in partnership with the Ministry for Environment for young leaders with a passion the environment. Emma has been very fortunate to receive a full scholarship to attend the week long programme in Auckland during the school holidays.
Students take part in environmental and marine science activities and visit businesses and local organisations to learn about what they are doing to reduce their impact on the environment. They will work together with scientists, environmental experts and a diverse range of leaders to leave the programme with new skills and clear action plans to start making positive change within their own schools and communities.
We can’t wait to hear all about it when you return Emma!
