Pourquoi La Nouvelle-Zélande?*
La Nouvelle-Zélande en 1914 est une jeune nation de 1.1 million habitants, une nation émergente ou presque cinquante pour cent des personnes habite à la campagne. Après la déclaration de la guerre environ 100,000 personnes ont été enrôlées dans l’armée et alors, ce conflit a touché toutes les familles et les communautés partout dans la Nouvelle-Zélande. Quatre ans plus tard 41,000 sont rentrés blessés et 18,000 ont été tués. Nous connaissons les chiffres et les...
These past holidays, I was able to visit Europe for the first time ever!
Bonjour, Kia ora, 안녕하세요, こんにちは, Hello.
My project is on its way. I’ve found some useful and interesting things about people having been involved in warfare, dealing with what they had to go through and see, and what they were like when the war was over. I’ve been asking my teachers and friends if they have had any of their family members serve in WW1. My friend said that her great granddad served and she has his records, metals, dates etc. Which is very helpful towards my project. My...
Aujourd’hui j’avais le plaisir d’être l’invité au petit-déjeuner de L’Alliance Française d’Auckland. Je suis arrivé vers dix heures, et c’était très sympa de parler un peu de français avant de commencer. Avec une vingtaine de gens comme audience, j’ai commencé mon petit discours vers onze heures. D’abord je me suis présenté, et j’ai parlé un peu à propos de mon école et mon rôle comme Député Jeune avant de décrire le projet de Histoires Partagées et ses buts — l’amitié des jeunes basée sur la...
On the 24th of June the other Young Ambassadors and I traveled to Wellington to meet each other, the creator and coordinators of the shared histories project and the head of the French Embassy. Madame Holmes and I touched down at Wellington Airport at 8am and met up with the others at the Alliance Francaise head office at 9 to meet each other and talk about why we were there and what we were planning to do for our project. It was really interesting meeting everybody and learning their...
Je sais que c’est un peu, peut-être beaucoup, hors sujet mais je suis un Député Jeune (Youth MP) pour mon électorat de Maungakiekie et je vais aller au parlement le 19-20 juillet pour L’Assemblé des Jeunes (Youth Parliament).
Une Journée en Wellington et Mon Projet
Firstly, I would like to thank all of the organisers and all of the other parties involved in making this trip possible, to Pascale, Glenda and Morgan especially for the brilliant day in Wellington. I would also like to acknowledge all of the ambassadors for making it really easy to get to know you all.
Well, waking up at 5am in the morning was something I did genuinely have a build up of nervous energy for. (Sue me, I like to sleep in on Saturdays). But other than that, I shouldn’t have been worried about anything really. Dreading the part where I go home, asking myself whether or not I wanted to really commit to this project was plain idiotic. I have never been part of a project of such a large scale so of course I was getting cold feet about it, however by the end of the day, I realised...
Bonjour a tous!
Samedi Dernier
On 25th June, The 10 Young ambassadors voyaged from far and near to Wellington for a workshop at the Alliance Francaise, here is where we all met each other for the first time, shared research projects and fundraising ideas, talk about French and also had a chance to discover some more details for the grand expedition in Septembre. We were privileged to attend a reception at the French Ambassador's residence.
Merci
I’d like to take this opportunity to...

Samedi dernier, je suis allée à Wellington et rencontre avec les gens qui vont en France. Les jeunes ambassadeurs étaient intéressants et leurs profs étaient génial. Nous avons visité “the great war expedition” et aussi visiter la résidence l'ambassadeur Français. C’était très bonne aller à Wellington parce que j’ai étudié beaucoup d’information importante et j’avais plus aider vers mon projet.
A Wellington Welcoming
Bonjour, à tous! Saturday was a pretty exciting day for me, as I finally got the chance to meet the other Young Ambassadors and learn all about our upcoming trip and Shared Histories project!
While the other nine ambassadors from around NZ were catching early bird flights, I rolled out of bed at 8 and took a leisurely bus ride to the Alliance Française. After initial greetings and a bit of discussion regarding the trip and our blog posts, we headed over to the Dominion Museum for a guided tour...
