| 54 Papua New Guineans head to Australia to Study STEM at University of Queensland |
The courses are designed to increase capacity in #STEM Education and to better identify, respond to, and manage diseases and infections through #HealthScience.
The awardees arrived to a beautiful welcome ceremony by the Indigenous Nunukul Yagera dancers who acknowledged and gave their consent as traditional owners of the land to the events taking place and showing deep respect for the rich culture of the Australian Indigenous people.
Steward Sarieng Pau, a Health Science participant, was particularly moved, saying "I was surprised to see such depth of culture and connection to the land in Australia, a developed country. Seeing this performance really impressed me."
Australia through the @AustraliaAwards supports the strengthening of intercultural understanding and people-to-people links between.
