PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Study Tour for Academics and Mobility Professionals (STAMP) is a professional development opportunity aimed at building the skills of Australian university academic and professional staff that work with global mobility programs. ​

​STAMP 2020 WILL BE
​UNDERTAKEN IN FIJI
Participants will learn first-hand about Pacific culture and the Australia-Fiji relationship. Through this international study tour experience, participants have a chance to better understand the global student experience - including partner collaboration; local logistics; risk and safety; cultural engagement; and working in the Indo-Pacific and emerging economies. STAMP is an interactive and peer-led program, with expertise being shared by participants.

THE STAMP OPPORTUNITY​
STAMP will provide an opportunity to meet with community hosts to understand their requirements and the impact of hosting students; and understand safety, risks, and logistical considerations for developing immersive education programs. The immersive nature of this trip aims to build a strong community among Australian student mobility professionals, build strong personal connections and share practice to support the design and development of global mobility programs.
