Understanding Australia: a sprint class

Sprint Class Overview

The ‘sprint’ class series is developed and delivered by the Perth USAsia Centre team in an intentionally accessible and ‘bite sized’ format.  The course is designed for learners across the Indo-Pacific who have an interest in gaining an insight into Australia’s foreign policy. It specifically addresses Australia’s cultural and historical context, the international focus of Australia of today, and how Australia aims to play a leading global role in the future.

By the end of this sprint class, participants should be able to:
                  
1. Appreciate the cultural and historical context of Australia’s role in the Indo-Pacific region

2. Understand Australia’s government structures, economic settings, and international outlook

3. Identify how Australia aims to lead and collaborate on key issues in the Indo-Pacific  
                               
Aimed at early- to mid-career professionals in business, government and education sectors overseas seeking to upskill in knowledge relating to Australia’s interests in the Indo-Pacific. It is intended that we offer the course in a range of languages and for target countries with these being rolled out throughout 2024.
