  4. education education &culture On exchange you learned a huge amount off campus. But don’t neglect what you learned on campus; and don’t overlook the chance to continue to make the most of this on your return. Photo by Zhijai Lai.

  10. University It’s like Hogwart’s here. It’s like your whole university identity is defined by your college rather than your faculty (as it would be in Australia). Maureen on Freshers week , University of Lancaster university Photo by Chris Brunero. University of Alberta, Canada. 10

  14. University 5 One of the best things about this university is the field trips. The most memorable one so far has been a three day village trip for my ‘Agriculture and nutrition in the developing world’ class... What better way to learn then standing in a hot cassava field with a farmer, in the interior of Fiji! university Photo by Katie B. University of the South Pacific, Fiji.

  15. arts People in Australia are always talking about the uselessness of art and arts degrees, but you find less of that attitude over here, and their attitude shows up in the extra, nonessential details of their cities, like the legs of public benches, the lamp posts, the gates, the fountains everywhere… arts Photo by Luke Bagnall Prague, Czech Republic From OzStudentsAbroad.com Original at http://ozstudentsabroad.com/2011/06/21/bohemian-rhapsody/ 15

  17. arts 3 My indifference for the magnificent Louvre is not a laughing matter, it seems. Chatting on the lovely terrace, our different attitudes to the Louvre reveal a wider cultural gap. ‘I’ve been going to museums since I was four,’ he states. ‘They were the highlight of family holidays. Whenever we arrived in a new town the first thing my parents did was take us to an art gallery or museum.’ ‘Kids in France must be a lot different from kids in Australia.’ And I describe our family holidays… in the bush, near lakes, rivers or beaches… Overlooking the spectacular glass pyramid, we laugh at the sharp contrast between our childhood holidays: that while one was trailing maturely through museums, the other was… standing on a floating Lilo.

  26. education 4 All of this, I think, shows the world that Germany is serious about this issue. And it’s comforting that in a world where nothing’s sacred, something can be treated with such near-universal reverence by a nation. I’m glad it’s not like what I’ve heard the British history curriculum is like (from my friend Kim), awkwardly skipping over the fact that the British Empire screwed up the world wherever it went, or like in Australia where we learn about what we did to Aborigines… but it’s not really treated with any reverence, perhaps because we learn SO MUCH about it that we’re kind of desensitised.

  28. education 6 Education or just ‘‘educational tourism’? Consider your own subjects... • What is culturally specific about the approach used? • How might that impact on the learning of a student from a different culture? • What could you do to introduce your newly acquired international perspective into that subject in your own classroom? education 28
