Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50% renewables. And we are shutting down – not building – coal & nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest. PS: We also don’t eat cats and dogs. #Debate2024

Dear international students and talents from around the world, note that German universities welcome foreign students, are tuition free and many subjects are taught in English. Germany has become an open and liberal society in contrast to what the UK government is implementing.

Enjoy highlights from the opening ceremonies for The Pā.
Under the guidance of the Kīngitanga and Waikato-Tainui, it was the University's honour to have The Pā unveiled by Kīngi Tūheitia through a dawn karakia ceremony.

Breaking the cycle of poverty for future generations requires talking about it with children now, and helping them understand the causes of economic inequality.
What do kids at different ages understand about the unequal world around them?
