An educational study tour and seminar through Curtin Campus and Community Life that visits several culturally diverse Asian countries. Many transnational organisations from America, Australia and the region see a growing need for a mobile workforce withimproved cross-cultural communication and people management skills, and a better understanding of the economic and political realities of the region. This tour will sensitise participants to the need to develop these skills and become a more valuable human resource in the future, and more adaptable to constant change in an increasingly interdependent world. The following themes in the context of the tour will be studied in depth: sustainability, political economy and leadership. Countries that have previously been included in these tours are - Indonesia, India, Myanmar (Burma), Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, China (including Hong Kong), Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. The study tour runs twice each year, (for a minimum of threeweeks) prior to the beginning of first semester, and immediately following the examination period in second semester. |
