Otago Polytechnic Student Voice Symposium (Te Reo Tuatahi)

This symposium aims to  capture the current state of the student experience in NZ’s vocational education sector, and offer a means of collaboration between the wider student body and the new institution to usher in a new era of democratised vocational education .

Starting at 8:45am, the first day will be a conference with speakers, presentations and a panel, as well as a round-table activity to encourage interaction between the attendees. The panels will consist of Otago Polytechnic students and national student leaders, to give local and wider perspectives on the ITP student experience.

The the second day begins at 9:30am and will consist of workshop sessions around self-growth, student lifestyle, community building, workplace knowledge, campaigning, and student representation.

This event will have a major focus on the ITP student voice, which has been severely under-represented at national and local levels for years. With the gradual formation of the NZIST, it is clear they need a bit of a push to truly consider the ITP students at the centre of their decision-making.

For those attending in person, please register by Tuesday 22 September 2020.
