Unbound
Unbound is an Australian social enterprise reshaping the way we do education. Our organisation provides practice-based learning programs for entrepreneurs and university students that focus on sustainability, entrepreneurship and social impact design, both in Australia and across the Asia-Pacific region. Through a multi-disciplinary lens, Unbound uses a hands-on approach to foster innovation and collaboration that goes beyond the constraints of classroom learning, opening up opportunities to create, learn, and share without boundaries.
At Unbound, we make higher education more engaging, equip students with the skills and experience to tackle emerging global challenges. We work with Australian universities to design and lead innovative international education programs – think study tours and global studios. All of our programs connect with real world issues and have a strong focus on social and environmental topics.
In Australia only around 17 per cent of university students travel as part of their degree. It’s clear that the future of work is going to be globally linked, so having the skills to work across cultures, particularly in Asia, is key. There’s no better way to learn about this than to pack your bags and spend time living and working alongside peers and colleagues in Kathmandu, Bangkok, Hanoi and beyond.
We have a strong social mission and design our programs for inclusion. We seek to engage students that might not normally have the opportunity to study overseas – such as students from low socio-economic backgrounds, students from rural and remote areas, and students who are the first in the family to study at university. There’s been some great research in this field, which we use to shape truly inclusive programs. Unbound aims to make these programs more accessible and travelling overseas a normal part of the university experience.
All of our programs have students working in small multi-disciplinary teams on real-world projects. Just like most work, these are projects where there is no one right answer, and often the question also isn’t clearly defined. So students have to work closely in collaboration with local community members to try to understand the challenges, and to workshop their ideas.
