Our target audiences: Local students and students who went oversea study in a foreign country.
Our aim: Enable local and international students to get together with each other via interests and from there to form a group and create events and activities. And most importantly make studies in Australia for international students more enjoyable and comfortable.
Based on research the numbers of international students are increasing as time passed.Which means they are becoming an important part of Australia's society. International students in Australia rise 11% more in 2016 compared with 2015[1]. The higher education sector had the largest share of Australia's international students, with 43 per cent.[2]
Most of the international student will face the following situation[3]:
- Feeling like an outsider
- Language barrier
- Currency differences
- Being far from your support network
- Coping with cultural misunderstandings
- Overwhelming enthusiasm from locals
- Homesickness
