| Streszczenie: | The recent proliferation of international work-integrated learning (WIL) opportunities, community-based service learning (CBSL) placements and other community-embedded positions in the tertiary education sector has diversified the ways in which university students in Australia gain intercultural experiences. Many Australian students sojourning overseas are doing so in internships or work placements that take them into direct contact with their hosts in the workplace, rather than just on overseas university campuses. In addition, the destinations of students travelling today include more Asian countries and other places where cultural differences between their home countries and their hosts are significant. The Office for Learning and Teaching has identified university internationalisation as a necessary strategic response to strong trends of globalisation and increased diversity, including in home countries. The Classroom of Many Cultures (CoMC) project seeks to produce a more engaging and effective curriculum for globalisation by providing rich support for overseas WIL and CBSL. Unlike many curriculum creation projects, however, CoMC integrates the globalised and multicultural nature of these experiences into the curriculum design process itself by piloting innovative methods for 'co-creating' resources with our international partners and students. That is, the CoMC project seeks to extend the commitment to globalisation and intercultural collaboration into the way that the curriculum itself is created. The primary project outputs include 35 activities divided into six core thematic modules: Developing Reciprocal Relationships, Team Building and Group Reflection, Challenging Perspectives, Children's Wellbeing and Empowerment, Workplace Cultures, and Creating Videos for Community Advocacy. These 35 activities employ, among other resources, 53 videos that share key ideas, teaching techniques, or insights, including both student and partner perspectives. All modules are Open Access, available through Creative Commons licensing from a centralised website, to encourage uptake and elaboration by program directors and teachers. The website (https://classroomofmanycultures.net) also offers country-specific resources organised especially for students preparing for international placements. The CoMC team has presented the research in nine conference papers, including posters, and has published/preparing six publications based on the research. [Executive summary, ed] |
