Latin American Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence

Logo of the Latin American Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence

Growing Global Citizenship Education in Aotearoa is designed to support teachers to inspire and grow global citizenship education in their classrooms, schools and kura. It was initially hosted by the Centres of Asia-Pacific Excellence (CAPEs). The CAPEs were established by the New Zealand Government in 2017 to help improve New Zealanders’ understanding of and engagement with Latin America, North Asia and Southeast Asia. The project finished in 2024. The CAPEs were delivered by a consortium of four universities: University of Auckland, Victoria University of Wellington, University of Waikato and University of Otago.
