Kia ora friend of NEXT
Covid-19 has reminded us of the importance of communication, collaboration and teamwork. That’s also at the heart of NEXT’s philosophy - working and investing together for the best possible outcomes for Aotearoa New Zealand in education and the environment.
In this newsletter we bring you a good news story from Predator Free Wellington - where teamwork is attracting new residents and creating jobs. Collaboration is also at the core of a groundbreaking new agreement between the Ministry of Education, Philanthropy NZ and philanthropic organisations focused on inequity in education. We introduce you to an inspiring new group of NEXT Fellows - and share a video about a different type of predator free fence - protecting one of our little known but fascinating endangered insects.
Stay safe and stay well.
Yours in education and the environment
