Supporting Student Partners to Revolutionise University Education & Change our World
Why does university education matter? For the graduate, degree credentials open (and create new) career doors. For our world, educated and connected citizens can co-create solutions to escalating problems, such as human-provoked climate change and cyber-terrorism. The outcomes cannot be achieved in the absence of a meaningful process. Becoming successful, and influential, change agents requires active, intentional and engaging student experiences. This presentation has been designed to inspire and leverage empowering and authentic partnerships. Key takeaways are strategies for students to develop influential partnerships, and to use partnership as an opportunity to develop cross-cultural competency to graduate as global citizens.
