Asia Literacy Ambassadors

The Asia Literacy Ambassadors – Partnering Businesses and Schools project establishes and supports partnerships between businesses and schools to stimulate student and school community demand for Asia literacy.

Skilled professionals are matched to secondary schools across Australia, to assist school communities to better understand the diverse career and life opportunities available to employees who are knowledgeable about Asia, who speak an Asian language and can effectively engage with the people and cultures of Asia, off-shore and domestically.

The five short films below showcase the impact of the Asia Literacy Ambassadors project.
