This cross-departmental collaboration (between Human Geography and Anthropology) was awarded a $350,000 Office for Learning and Teaching grant (2015-2017) to co-create an innovative online cross-cultural curriculum with eleven international community-based organisations from seven different countries (including Peru, Cambodia, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines and Fiji). The co-created curriculum reflects the values of collaboration, intercultural sharing and respect for other people’s ways of knowing and will prepare anyone participating in an international community-based engagement program.
