SUMMARY:Marni naa pudni –  ‘Welcome’ to an exploration of an Indigenous and international cultural exchange (IICE) pilot program
DESCRIPTION:Ms Shawna Hooton1, Ms Teegan Bryant\n1The University Of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia\nThe University faces an ongoing conundrum of integrating international students and domestic students. While various strategies exist to resolve the ongoing conundrum of integrating international students and domestic students this, the Indigenous and International Cultural Exchange (IICE) program IICE at the University of Adelaide bridges this gap in a creative way , simultaneously whilst simultaneously reaffirming the University’s reconciliation framework and students-as-partners commitment. In 2018, an International Peer Mentor recognized a cultural exchange gap on campus: the University had a number of a few initiatives to share international cultures and develop global IQs, however, programs tailored for cultural exchange with indigenous students were non-existent. He determined to initiate a conversation with the Indigenous Student Ambassadors, and that was the inception of the Indigenous and International Cultural Exchange (IICE) program. This program achieves the internationalizing of the Indigenous cohort of students in an accessible and effective way –an economically viable, locally sourced solution. Harnessing the diverse cultural landscape of our current international student body, the program facilitates an innovative intercultural engagement opportunity for Indigenous students, while providing international students the opportunity to engage in local cultural insights, leveraging our Indigenous students’ life experience and backgrounds. Through a high touch application and selection process, 30 international students and 6 indigenous students were chosen to participate in the full day program. Activities were designed to give each student a hands-on and interactive approach to learn and share culture; this included a Smoking Ceremony, small-group cultural discovery, weaving workshops, and historical guided tours. The presentation will share information on the sessions and feedback from participants on the potential of this pilot program can open up exciting new avenues, ranging from a model for other universities, to creating more pathways between international and domestic students\n\nBiography:\nShawna Hooton coordinates the International Peer Mentor program at the University of Adelaide.
