Imagine we embrace the challenge of

cultural unconsciousness

and bring together students from differing

cultures and backgrounds

to reciprocally teach and learn, deepen knowledge

and build authentic relationships

enriching the potential in all people

Purpose

‘2 Way Learning’ connects individuals from different

cultures and backgrounds – locally, Australia wide

and globally to learn with and from each other.

Vision

Individuals walking together with mutual respect

having learned and grown with each other
