Uplift and Changemakers project

The Uplift and Changemakers project aims to build the capacity of international students by improving their connection to local capacity-building opportunities and improving their physical and mental well-being. The project consists of a series of workshops for international students. Each workshop will include the support of culturally trained mental health professionals who will empower international students by providing wellbeing support through community wellbeing discussions.

We are currently recruiting for international students to join our co-design group that will co-design our workshops and take part in capacity building training. Fill out the EOI here.
