The Taiwan Experience Education Program: Expanding Intercultural
Capabilities for Australian Education Students (25845) Since 2015, Western Sydney University’s (WSU) School of Education has partnered with the Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology (STUST) to provide 20 Australian education students with a three-week teaching practicum in Taiwan. The three-year pilot project was funded by the Taiwanese Ministry of Education (MOE) to enhance Taiwan’s bilingualism and internationalisation strategies. Due to the success of this cross-institutional collaboration, the Taiwanese MOE has recently committed on-going funding to continue this teaching practicum specifically for WSU pre-service teachers. The practicum includes teaching an English-language summer camp for Taiwanese middle school students. Outcomes for Australian students include gaining valuable cross-cultural experience and enhancing career-readiness and employability through deepening their knowledge of the Indo-Pacific region. The cultural program includes Chinese language instruction, field trips to historic sites, calligraphy, tea making, and Zen meditation, amongst other educational experiences. The program enables future Australian teachers to further develop their intercultural competencies and better prepare them to enter into diverse 21st Century classrooms and educational settings.

Round 2019
Semester based mobility with Panjab University, India (26171) This mobility project would involve students from WSU to travel and stay at Panjab University, Chandigarh India and complete a semester of study or more that gives them credits for each unit completed at Panjab University towards their course enrolled at, WSU. Students would be able to travel in Feb 2020 to commence first semester of study.
Since India is becoming one of the first choices for outsourcing jobs this mobility program would involve students to visit education partner institutions, and research institutions and would also expose students to local culture and language during their stay of few months. Further, this program would help staff to support students’ active participation in learning experiences and would assist in bring knowledge back to Western Sydney University. Hence this program would help strengthen and sustain the existing partnerships and offer students mobility to engage in the international environment.

Round 2019
Forgotten Heritage – A Chinese conservation project for Australians
(27167) We propose a ground-breaking, 4-week experimental learning project for 10 students in the Kaiping region of China, focusing on language, cultural exchange, conservation and the preservation of Chinese-Australian history.
From the 1800’s, thousands of Chinese nationals from this region emigrated to New South Wales as part of the Gold Rush. Many aging ‘Diaolou’ (watchtowers) and villages, four of which were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2007, were constructed using money earned in New South Wales. These historic villages represent the initial waves of Chinese émigré to Australia, to where many Australian born Chinese can trace their roots. Some buildings have been restored, yet others stand neglected despite being of great historical significance.
Students from different backgrounds will cooperate to raise Australia’s awareness of the area’s historical significance. This unique, immersive experience will consist of language classes, seminars, one-to-one support and guided tours of the local villages/industries.
This opportunity also aims to include other Australian universities in the future.

Round 2019
Mastering clinical skills in the country where traditional Chinese
medicine originates (19252 (19254)) As the first country in the West, Australia has introduced statutory regulation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) between WSU and a Chinese university was signed in 2015 in the presence of Australian Prime Minister and Chinese President in the context of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The MOU highlighted the joint support for the validation and translation of TCM and students’ exchange. All these events have scaled up the standards of practice in TCM in the West.
WSU offers Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (BTCM) course as an initial qualification for registration. The clinical practice component (400-hour) in the program is capstone experience for students to become registrable practitioners, which is delivered at a fostering teaching hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine (NUCM) in China. This requires substantial financial commitment from students for covering tuition, airfares, food, accommodation, and transportation costs.
