This is a new project funded by the University via a Community Engagement Grant Scheme. The Project’s goal is to facilitate cross-cultural dialogue between international students and local youths in the Illawarra area. International students will be visiting local Illawarra high schools to deliver a series of presentations to high schools students and discuss various social and cultural issues. If you would like to become an international presenter at high schools and a cultural ambassador of your country and of University of Wollongong, and develop your public speaking and presenting skills, than apply for this volunteering position NOW.
