In the spotlight

Global citizenship project

Deakin Global citizenship students helped build a new pre-school on South Taveuni, Fiji. Funds were raised by the students and the Rotary Club of Geelong, and both groups worked with a team of local builders. The students lived in home-stay accommodation with locals in the community. The students had a great experience on a project with long-lasting benefits for the community.

AsiaBound funding grants

In July the Study Abroad and Exchange team at Deakin International was awarded 11 AsiaBound grants for 2014 through the Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIICSRT). This funding initiative supports study experiences to assist students become Asia literate. All of Deakin's Faculties are involved in the planned programs, which are across a diverse range of countries in Asia, and demonstrate the University's engagement with Asian partners.

The programs cover areas such as health, architecture, sociology, civil engineering, business and art.
