The SAIL Programme: Student Ambassadors as Intercultural Leaders
The challenge
International students' desire for more local friends has been a persistent research finding. And condensed curricula have meant limited global citizenship opportunities for domestic students.
Our solution
What is SAIL?
Training format:
SAIL provides leadership opportunities and intercultural learning for both international and domestic students. Through the co-planning and delivery of a social event, international students enjoy social connections with local students, who, in turn, benefit from a truly unique global citizenship experience.
The training, which can be customised for individual providers, includes a workshop, booklet, and follow-up debrief with programme participants. It can be delivered as a stand-alone programme or as a specialised extension of a current student buddy/campus coach programme.
- Format: Workshop + social event planning + debrief
- Delivery: In-person, customised for each provider
- Content: Intercultural leadership, co-planning, event delivery, reflection
- Outputs: Students gain an award/credential, providers gain stronger domestic-international connections
- Audience: Both international and domestic students (could be embedded in buddy/coach programmes)
