Hand-in-Hand Workshop Auckland 2026
The Evolution of Transnational Education
2nd Feb – 4th Feb 2026
Auckland, New Zealand
In February 2026, AIFE will host its first Hand-in-Hand workshop in Auckland, New Zealand.
The Hand-in-Hand Workshop provides a valuable opportunity for senior representatives from our Global Partner universities to convene, exchange information, and learn from best practices. Throughout the workshop sessions, we will explore strategies and initiatives implemented by our partner universities, to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes for all parties, including our Chinese partner universities.
2026 is an important year for AIFE. This year presents an important opportunity for us to adapt to the evolving landscape of our organisation
and the broader international education sector. As we navigate these changes, we will focus on strengthening our programs, expanding our global partnerships, and enhancing our impact in the field of international education. Hand-in-Hand is an opportunity to share strategies and innovate together to create sustainable and accessible education offerings.
AIFE is proud to have partnerships with universities across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, America, and the UK, and is committed to building long-term, sustainable, and mutually beneficial relationships in global education.
