Asia Literacy Ambassadors Project event
An opportunity for Tasmanian secondary schools to come along to the University of Tasmania and meet with students and recent graduates who have undertaken Asian studies themselves, and to hear about the personal and professional opportunities afforded to them because of their Asia literacy.
The University students and recent graduates, together with University teaching staff and representatives from the AEF's Asia Literacy Ambassadors project, will share their stories and answer any questions school participants might have about undertaking studies of Asia or Asian language, and their value beyond the classroom.
School participants will also have an opportunity to share their own experiences of Asia, its cultures and its peoples, and to discuss how Asia literacy is being explored in their own schools.
On leaving the University, each school participant will be presented with a showbag of resources to take home.
Places are limited so if your school is interested, please RSVP to Lynne by Friday July 22 with your name, contact details and number of students you would like to bring along to the day.
