National Symposium on the future of Australia-Korea School Partnerships

IEAA’s National Symposium on the future of Australia-Korea school partnerships was held online over 29 August, 30 August and 1 September 2023. This event was supported through a grant from the Australia-Korea Foundation and brought together more than 240 school leaders, educators, policy makers and a diverse range of other school stakeholders from both Australia and Korea.

Individual sessions within the National Symposium focused on:

  • Existing models for Australia-Korea school partnerships;
  • Korean language education in Australian schools;
  • Case studies of recent, innovative Australia-Korea school partnerships; and
  • Government priorities for the future of bilateral school partnerships between Australia and Korea.

Our symposium was a unique learning opportunity for attendees as Australia-Korea school partnerships are often not explored in-depth through other international education fora.

In order to share key learnings, ensure accessibility and deepen impact of the information and insights that were presented during the symposium, IEAA has made available: 

A follow-up report on the National Symposium on the future of Australia-Korea school partnerships which can be downloaded here.

A Linked-In group for Australia-Korea school stakeholders who are interested in connecting with one another.

Further resources which have been supplied by National Symposium presenters.
