INTERACTION WITH STUDENTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Our live-facilitated programs are packed with activities that invite participants to interact and collaborate with students from around the world.
Working in small groups, students need to respectfully reach consensus with their team mates, and harness a range of cultural perspectives.
REAL-LIFE SCENARIOS RELEVANT FOR STUDENTS
As inquisitive as students are, we know there’s often a knowledge gap in how different cultural expectations can be barriers to their success.
We provide them with practical and culturally informed scenarios relating to their academic, social, safety and employability success.
