Curtin University Faculty of Humanities’ Global Futures Platform applies rigorous thinking to the world’s most pressing challenges in international and intercultural relations, environmental awareness, communication, media, creative practice, accessibility, and education. In partnerships between staff, students, community, industry and policy makers, we pursue effective ways to create a safer, more just, globally connected world.
One way we are pursuing is to create a connection between high school students our staff and students working in the Global Futures.
For this, we have designed a three-day high school excursion program, running from December 1-3 2025. Using a case study of global Korean pop culture to build intercultural awareness, students dive into the exciting world of Korean Popular Culture. It offers a blend of fun, creativity, cultural exploration, and basic Korean language learning. It’s designed to be interactive and engaging, enabling students to express themselves, work together, and create meaningful projects that reflect their understanding of Korean popular culture in our region.
Supported by masterclasses with university staff and students, over the three days students will work collaboratively to imagine, and create, their own Korean Wave project, while becoming a more globally aware citizen.
