Hindu Youth New Zealand and New Zealand Hindu Students Forum are pleased to announce that the 2nd New Zealand Hindu Youth Conference will take place on 7th and 8th of May 2011. The theme of the conference is “Dynamic Spirit of Youth”.

The conference aims to harness the dynamic spirit of youth for the purpose of social progress and transformation. The conference will provide a forum to empower and utilize the energy and vision of young New Zealanders for constructive social purposes, with a focus on Hindu culture and philosophy. The conference will also discuss and deliberate topics such as pluralism, building leadership in youth, technology, productivity, environmental sustainability, recreation, seva (Service) social issues and how all this is related to the multicultural melting pot that is New Zealand.

Fun activities, games and competitions have also been planned for the two day event. There will be interactive sessions with presenters from different walks of life who have made a mark for themselves in the society; arts exhibition and quiz night.  Speakers include:

  • Dr Divya Dhar, young New Zealander of the year 2010,
  • Ms Claire Szabo, NZIM young executive of the year 2010
  • Team One Beep, National leg winner of the Microsoft Imagine Cup, 2010
  • Jamie Hanton (Prime Minister’s award for literary achievement winner 2010) 

For relevant government agencies, this would be a great opportunity to meet and mingle with motivated students and young adults.

Members of the Hindu Youth New Zealand have been part of government delegations to Asia Pacific regional interfaith dialogue to the Aspiring Leaders’ Forum held at the New Zealand Parliament, the Parliament Deepawali reception hosted by the Hon. Minister of Ethnic Affairs and other networks, forums and activities at the national and international levels.
