Empowerment conference free for students

The Girl Empowerment Conference 2021 will be held at Macleans College on Saturday 12 June. This is a free conference run by youth for youth and we have received a lot of positive feedback from the participants in the past running years.

This is an opportunity to encourage young females who are interested in business, feminism and politics to chase their dreams and promote women’s rights, as well as providing a platform for young women to discover their talents within a business vocation.

We hope to inspire young females to be future change-makers by providing them with the opportunities to design their own business in a real-life scenario.

On the day, participants are to create a business proposal based around a business/political/social issue of the planning committee’s choice, and present it to a panel of leading businesswomen and entrepreneur judges. Throughout this process, they will be under the guidance of experienced mentors – therefore giving them a chance to gain invaluable knowledge and experience in this field.

Furthermore, they will gain the chance to transform theoretical knowledge into practical knowledge, develop logical thinking skills, communication and team working skills, which are all vital for their future occupation.

This is a fantastic opportunity for female students to explore their interest in business and politics, and we would like to invite Westlake Girls’ High School to encourage your students to take part.

Furthermore, our event is entirely free, AND no previous experience in business/politics is required for participants, in order to increase the accessibility of this event. Our objective the years to come for the conference is to ensure this opportunity reaches all diverse demographics of female students in Auckland.

Students may enter through this link to the registration form.
