ABOUT THE EVENT
MAP aims to amplify Asia-Pacific voices through youth-led dialogue, inspiring delegates to feel more connected and informed about the regions critical issues. MAP offers students the chance to step into the shoes of diplomats and leaders as they tackle key issues facing the Asia-Pacific region. This immersive experience allows students to explore and understand diverse perspectives, work together to create solutions for global problems, and enhance the presence of the Asia-Pacific region on an international level.
This year, our issues range from climate change, economic development, human rights and regional security, providing a dynamic platform for students to engage in critical thinking, public speaking, and diplomacy. Alongside engaging with peers from diverse backgrounds, students will gain a broader understanding while sharing their own experiences when discussing topical issues impacting this region.
Through MAP, students will build valuable connections with like-minded peers and contribute to meaningful social and environmental change across Auckland. By fostering understanding and collaboration, we are building an Asia-Pacific future where everyone can enjoy their rights and thrive!

ABOUT UN YOUTH
UN Youth is a non-profit organisation that provides civics education outside the traditional classroom context. Through fun workshops and conferences, we engage youth in the most pressing affairs of their country and the international community. Our goal is to inspire young New Zealanders to be active, global citizens. Global citizenship exists in an incredibly diverse range of forms, and UN Youth provides opportunities for delegates to develop their own form of active citizenship. Throughout Aotearoa, our work equips young people to become informed, engaged, and critical New Zealanders who understand their global context and the connections between the local and the global. Annually, over 3000 young New Zealanders from Northland to Southland attend a UN Youth event, run by a body of over 150 volunteers across the country who dedicate many hours of their time to engaging young people and growing the organisation.
