Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care at Swinburne University of Technology

In a tumultuous world, how can Australia, its organisations, and its people most effectively engage with Asia? This graduate certificate builds intercultural leadership skills by offering multidimensional perspectives on key challenges facing Asia and our region, such as rising inequality, social upheaval, political transformation, and environmental crisis. It cultivates the self-reflective knowledge and analytical tools needed for engagement with Asia in a rapidly changing environment.

The graduate certificate of Engaging the Pacific offers students an opportunity to explore the island regions' diverse histories, cultures, arts, languages, politics, migration and environmental issues. The program utilises critical approaches from interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives that are inclusive and supportive of indigenous Pacific voices, knowledges and methods. Students hoping to work in the region, or in a wide variety of agencies and organisations engaged with Pacific policy, teaching, collections and communities in the islands and diaspora, will receive a strong grounding in thinking with and for Oceania.
