Unbound Global Social Impact Program - Summer 2021/2022

Program Overview:

The Unbound Global Social Impact Program is an engaging program connecting students with the Asia Pacific region on real world multidisciplinary projects.

This exciting program has strong links with innovators, social entrepreneurs and leaders across the region, and a chance to learn from, and with, inspiring role models. With a focus on cultural exchange and group projects this experience isn’t your usual Zoom course – with cooking classes, global speakers and mentors, and a chance to get hands-on with a real project. 

This program is delivered online (with some optional face-to-face activities, subject to coronavirus restrictions) and is a chance to gain professional and cross-cultural skills in a fun and interactive way.

​Eligibility

This program is open to Australian university students from all disciplines. There are no pre-requisites or prior experience needed.

Delivery
This program is delivered entirely online with optional meetups in Australia (subject to COVID restrictions). The projects link to Unbound's partners across the Asia-Pacific region.

This project has been designed in collaboration between Unbound and the host universities, in line with the New Colombo Plan (NCP) initiative coordinated by the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and supported with NCP Mobility Grants.
