The Jumbunna International Opportunities program provides undergraduate Indigenous students with the chance to have an international experience during their studies.
Jumbunna International Opportunities
Aotearoa (New Zealand), Cultural Immersion
For years, Jumbunna students have had the opportunity to travel to Aotearoa (New Zealand) and learn a small part of Māoritanga (Māori Culture). The week-long trip of the North Island includes a visit to Te Papa (the National Museum), a Pōwhiri (traditional welcome to the Marae), a tour of the Rotorua seismic area, a Hāngī (traditional oven pit cooked meal) and a visit to Waitangi (the Treaty Grounds).
It’s an opportunity for our students to not only learn and connect with other First Nations people abroad but with each other.
