This immersive experience invites students to explore the global consequences of conflict and the possibilities for peacebuilding, resilience, and renewal in postwar societies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge will take place on the Curtin Bentley Campus from <strong>Monday, 8th December to Wednesday, 10th December 2025<\/strong>. Across the three days, students will engage in a series of interactive and creative activities, including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exploration of Postwar Futures<\/strong>: Students will investigate the aftermath of conflict through historical, cultural, and humanitarian lenses. Using real-world case studies, they will explore themes such as displacement, reconstruction, reconciliation, and the role of global institutions in peacebuilding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Creative Inquiry and Collaboration<\/strong>: Guided by Curtin University academics and mentors, students will work in teams to research specific aspects of postwar recovery. They will synthesise their findings and co-create visual and narrative responses that imagine hopeful futures beyond war.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Immersive Campus Experience<\/strong>: Students will experience university life firsthand, collaborating with peers and academics in a dynamic learning environment. This exposure aims to spark curiosity about global studies, international relations, and humanitarian work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of the challenge, participants will have developed new skills in critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and creative problem-solving. They will gain a deeper understanding of global conflict and recovery, and be empowered to consider their role in shaping a more peaceful and just world. This event offers a unique platform for young changemakers to begin their journey as globally engaged citizens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"758\" height=\"1029\" src=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/After-War-25-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31755\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PROGRAM DETAILS<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Year 7 \u2013 10 high school students&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Monday <\/strong>December 8th &#8211; <strong>Wednesday<\/strong> December 10th 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.30am \u2013 2.30pm&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Curtin University Bentley Campus&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong> FREE&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong><a href=\"mailto:humanities-futures@curtin.edu.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>humanities-futures@curtin.edu.au<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to know more about upcoming Global Futures High School challenge-based learning opportunities, please contact us at: <a href=\"mailto:humanities-engagement@curtin.edu.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>humanities-futures@curtin.edu.au<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curtin University is excited to announce the Global Futures High School Challenge: After War, a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":218,"featured_media":31756,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"class_list":["post-31753","futures-platform","type-futures-platform","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global-futures"],"acf":false,"featured_image":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/Bbl7OtA66w8n-Mladen-image-scaled-1-1000x500.jpg","author_meta":{"display_name":"263716k"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/futures-platform\/31753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/futures-platform"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/futures-platform"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/218"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/futures-platform\/31753\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31759,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/futures-platform\/31753\/revisions\/31759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
