The tour takes 20 of the brightest high school students from across New Zealand to the cities at the forefront of sustainable development.

We are looking for a diverse delegation with unique skills and interests to explore these topics with us.

These cities have been specifically chosen for their relation and significance to one (or more) of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Tour’s purpose is to showcase the need for a multi-dimensional, global effort to achieve these SDGs, which are the cornerstone of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The SDGs build upon their predecessors, the Millennium Development Goals. They seek to mobilise governments, the private sector, and civil society to become change-makers and get behind their realisation.
