Project Global Citizen

Project Global Citizen Scholars undertake an 5-week blended learning program that radically improves their cultural competency skills for studying, living and working across cultures as a truly global citizen.

  • It creates an understanding of culturally-influenced expectations (the “unwritten rules”) of employers and how to bridge the gaps that could limit your ability to survive and thrive in your new host country.
  • Over an 5-week program, we empower you with practical cross-cultural skills in relation to your academic, social and safety situation.
  • Project Global Citizen is Australia’s first professional development program that focuses exclusively on leveraging culture to optimise your experience in studying, living and working as a truly global citizen.
  • Project Global Citizen graduates are certified with a micro credential they can use in their CVs and LinkedIn profiles.

The best part of this experience was hearing all of the different cultural perspectives and understanding cultural mindsets of different nationalities in general.
