Each year thousands of young New Zealanders grapple with the task of answering some of the fundamental questions of life. It is this stage of life that is one of the most important – these young New Zealanders are in the process of determining their direction, they have begun to develop a critical-thinking approach to life, they are defining goals and aspirations and yet their ideals are still int

act. One day these young people will lead our nation. Their view of leadership and what it means to lead is therefore of critical importance to New Zealand's future. The Aspiring Leaders' Forum on faith and values attempts to bridge the growing divide between our nation's young people and its leaders as they come together in Wellington to debate and discuss the ideas and philosophies of leadership. While Members of Parliament host the Forum, the focus is not purely politics: it is about encouraging young people to be better leaders in the areas of society they are engaged in, be it the arts, business, politics or sport. There are always more followers than leaders, yet one leader can affect the lives of millions. Our hope is that the Forum will build a bridge from one generation to the next, inspiring and elevating our young people's expectations of leadership.

Some of the most meaningful moments happen in conversations around the table or in between sessions. One of the highlights of Forum for many is being part of small groups that genuinely listen and hold space for one another.
