EVENTS

We deliver a range of events and educational programmes for our members and participants including round-table discussions with leaders and decision-makers, panels and debates, leadership development programmes and diplomatic simulations. Our events promote active citizenship; connect young people with inspiring leaders; and enable young people to meaningfully contribute to community development and decision-making.

At the heart of all of our events is the importance of the Commonwealth as an international institution, and its timeless values and principles.

Our two flagship annual events are Common Leaders' Day and the National Student CHOGM.

COMMON LEADERS' DAY

Common Leaders' Day is a one-day leadership development programme for high school students, held each year in central Wellington on Commonwealth Day in March. Find out more

NATIONAL STUDENT CHOGM

Held each year at the New Zealand Parliament, the National Student Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) simulates a real CHOGM and allows high school students from throughout New Zealand to adopt the role of Head of Government or Foreign Minister of a Commonwealth state, or represent a Commonwealth news outlet or media publication. Delegates debate a range of economic, social and political issues; hear from expert guest speakers; and use their negotiation and influencing skills to resolve a fictional crisis scenario. ​Find out more
