New Zealand kits

The Kansai New Zealand Centre’s “New Zealand Kits" are now available for loan to schools in the Kanto region and northern Japan from the New Zealand Embassy. They contain books and textbooks actually used in New Zealand schools, as well as wallcharts, soft toys, a flag, a video, and much more.

These kits have been created with the cooperation of the New Zealand Embassy and the Asia New Zealand Foundation, and are ideal tools for teaching Japanese students about New Zealand and fostering international understanding.

If you wish to borrow one from the Embassy, fill in this online form.

Refer to the Embassy's lending conditions before submitting your request.

If your school is not based in the Kanto region or in northern Japan, please borrow a New Zealand Kit directly from the Kansai New Zealand Centre. Please contact them for details.
