You need to set the appropriate data context, using child templates for example :

HTML

<template name="Header">
  {{> test text="Text1" a=1}}
  {{> test text="Text2" a=2}}
</template>

<template name="test">
  <div class="test">{{text}}</div>
</template>

JS

Template.test.events({
  "click .test": function(event, template){
    console.log(this.a);
  }
});
