Highlights: The Unbound Global Social Impact Program is an engaging program connecting students with the Asia Pacific region, designed to fit easily alongside existing studies.
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 global speakers and mentors, and a chance to make new friends and connect on 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.
The program will deepen people-to-people connections for UNSW students and the in-country host organisations. Students will make personal connections for future collaboration, when Covid restrictions ease and travel becomes possible
